Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejects a US-backed 15-point peace plan for Gaza, saying it is not compatible with Israel’s national security. Multiple outlets report that he formally rejects the proposal, despite pressure from the United States.
BBC News and Yahoo News add that the rejection may not be the final word. They report that the Trump administration is said to view the proposal and Netanyahu’s response as potentially linked to campaigning ahead of a general election, suggesting the plan could still be revised or pursued. Japan Today and others frame Netanyahu’s response as part of his public stance to his right-wing government, with televised remarks indicating the rejection is clear and immediate.
