JERUSALEM, Israel – Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reiterated that Israel rejects the US-backed 15-point Gaza proposal, saying the Israeli military will not withdraw until Hamas is fully and genuinely disarmed.
Netanyahu said Israel’s definition of Hamas disarmament includes the removal of all heavy and light weapons held by the group.
On Gaza, Netanyahu said there would be no Palestinian state under his leadership, rejecting the possibility of either a Hamas- or Fatah-controlled Palestinian entity.
He also defended previous Israeli military operations in Rafah and the Philadelphi Corridor, as well as actions in Lebanon and against Iran.
“The existence of Israel and the security of all Israeli citizens are not up for negotiation,” he said.
