Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected US President Donald Trump’s 15-point Gaza peace plan. Netanyahu said Israel would not withdraw its forces until Hamas is “genuinely disarmed.” Hamas has said it is ready to discuss the plan but wants Israel to end its military actions and withdraw from Gaza. The plan calls for Hamas to disarm, Israeli troops to leave Gaza and reconstruction to begin. Netanyahu said some parts of the plan were acceptable, while others were not. He said Israel was discussing the next steps with US officials. The rejection has created another challenge for Trump’s Gaza peace efforts.
