JERUSALEM: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected US President Donald Trump’s 15 point plan for Gaza, saying Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is fully and genuinely disarmed. The plan, promoted by Trump’s Board of Peace, was presented as a possible path towards a lasting ceasefire and the reconstruction of Gaza. The rejection is another serious setback for Trump’s Gaza initiative, which the US president had presented as a major step towards peace and security. It also places Netanyahu under pressure from both Washington and members of his right wing coalition, who oppose concessions to Hamas. The latest dispute leaves the peace plan standing on fragile ground, with each side demanding that the other make the first move.
