Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel rejects US President Donald Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza and will not withdraw from the territory until Hamas is fully disarmed. Netanyahu makes the rejection at a cabinet meeting and frames Israel’s position around ongoing security concerns and preventing threats to Israeli forces and civilians.
The outlets report that Trump’s “Board of Peace” announced last month that it had made a breakthrough toward ending the war. The same sources say Israel and Hamas had agreed to a ceasefire last year, beginning in October, but Israel continues strikes in Gaza afterward.
While the coverage is consistent on Israel’s refusal and the disarmament condition, some headlines emphasize different elements: several outlets foreground Netanyahu’s words about “genuinely” disarming Hamas, while others focus on the fact of Israel’s rejection and the broader context of Trump’s claimed breakthrough. One account also ties the current rejection to the stated expectation that Hamas would lay down weapons as part of Trump’s framework.
