Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejects a US-backed Gaza plan that includes a phased approach linking Hamas disarmament to Israeli troop withdrawals. Across the reports, Netanyahu says Israeli forces will not leave Gaza until Hamas is “genuinely” or “fully” disarmed, and he portrays the proposal as unacceptable.

The outlets describe a rare public break with US President Donald Trump, who earlier hailed the roadmap as a major milestone. Reuters-based reporting and other summaries note Netanyahu’s opposition is stated even as Israel’s military posture has shifted under US pressure, with some outlets saying attacks have been effectively reduced. Several reports also frame Netanyahu’s stance as a direct challenge to the plan’s sequencing, in which disarmament and decommissioning of armed groups would occur under governance arrangements.

While most sources focus on Netanyahu’s insistence on disarmament first, they differ on context and timing details. Some emphasize the plan’s 15-point structure and the reciprocal elements it calls for, while others highlight Netanyahu’s broader messaging about resisting perceptions of Israeli “weakness” and US pressure across regional issues. One outlet also notes Hamas is described as having accepted the proposal, even as Israel rejects it.
