Netanyahu Rejects Trump's 15-Point Gaza Plan, Demands Hamas Disarm Before Any Withdrawal

On August 9, 2026, Israeli PM Netanyahu rejected Trump's 15-point Gaza plan, telling his cabinet: "Israel rejects the 15-point document." He insisted no military withdrawal occurs until Hamas is "genuinely" disarmed — not through "fictitious disarmament." Hamas conditions disarmament on full Israeli withdrawal and an end to all aggression. Netanyahu says talks with US officials on amending the framework continue.
