Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a 15-point plan put forth by former President Donald Trump regarding Gaza. Netanyahu indicated that the Israeli military would be unable to prevent Hamas from maintaining a degree of armament, suggesting the plan presented a significant obstacle. Furthermore, the recent peace agreement, which stipulated the “total disarmament” of Hamas and other armed factions in Gaza, was deemed insufficient.
Hamas, in its response, stated that the transfer of its weaponry is contingent upon Israel ceasing its “forms of aggression” and withdrawing its forces from Gaza. Netanyahu asserted that Israel’s continued attacks on Gaza are conditional on Hamas agreeing to an honorable cessation of fire within the territory. During the statement, Netanyahu explicitly stated, “Israel rejected the 15-point document.” The conflicting positions highlight a major impasse in the negotiations concerning the future of Gaza.
The disagreement centers on the preconditions for disarmament and the cessation of hostilities, with both sides setting conditions that the other side has not met.
