Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-backed 15-point peace proposal for Gaza, creating a rare public disagreement with US President Donald Trump. Netanyahu said Israel’s military would not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed, including its heavy and light weapons. The plan, developed by Trump’s Board of Peace, seeks to advance a political settlement and eventually transfer authority in Gaza to an independent Palestinian National Committee. Netanyahu argued that Israel must retain the ability to protect its citizens and forces. His rejection threatens to complicate Washington’s efforts to end the Gaza conflict and deepen tensions within the US-Israel alliance. (PC: Getty Images)
