Netanyahu Rejects Trump's Gaza Framework, Demanding Hamas Disarm Before Israeli Withdrawal

Netanyahu rejected Trump's Gaza plan after Kushner met Hamas to push it. The framework pairs a ceasefire with phased Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal. Netanyahu insists Hamas disarm first — reversing the sequence and stalling the 60-day window from October 2025's ceasefire. With elections looming, his right-wing base drives his refusal to accept a staged pullout.
