Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel does not agree to a US-backed plan for Gaza, despite receiving assurances from the United States. Multiple outlets report that Netanyahu makes the statement after meeting with a US-backed group connected to President Donald Trump’s approach, and after being told that any Israeli troop withdrawal would occur only after Hamas disarms. Netanyahu says the US side sent Israel a draft proposal, but that Israel did not accept it, describing it as not Israel’s draft. He adds that the US team believes it can bring about Hamas’s disarmament and the demilitarisation of Gaza. Reporting also indicates Netanyahu communicates the position publicly, including through a video posted to his social media accounts. The accounts align on the core point: Netanyahu presents the plan as US-authored and not agreed by Israel, while acknowledging the US assurances about the conditions for withdrawal. The reports do not provide additional details of the specific terms Israel rejected beyond the dispute over the plan’s authorship and the broader framework being discussed.
