(AP) – Israel has rejected a proposed Gaza deal announced by President Donald Trump, drawing a clear line in the sand: Israel will not pull back until Hamas is genuinely disarmed. Netanyahu also said Israel is still discussing plans for Gaza with Washington, suggesting negotiations continue even as the current proposal has been rejected outright. Hamas, for its part, insists the “road map” remains the path forward and expects mediators—and the United States—to pressure Netanyahu. But tensions between Israel and Hamas remain unresolved, and now it’s the Trump administration’s challenge to manage.
