Israel rejects Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza

What the report says

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel rejects a 15-point Gaza plan associated with US President Donald Trump and will not pull its forces out of the territory until Hamas is fully disarmed. According to Al Jazeera, Netanyahu made the comments at a cabinet meeting and said Israeli troops would continue operations to counter what he called threats against Israeli forces and civilians.

The remarks come as the US-backed Board of Peace has been advancing a framework for Gaza that would link any Israeli withdrawal to Hamas’s disarmament and eventually place day-to-day civilian administration under a Palestinian technocratic committee supervised by the board. Netanyahu said Israel is discussing the issue with the United States but that some American ideas are unacceptable to his government. Al Jazeera reported that there was no immediate response from the White House or Hamas.

The Israeli position appears to raise new uncertainty over the sequencing of any postwar arrangement for Gaza. Al Jazeera’s correspondents said the stance could complicate efforts by mediators to move the process forward, given that the board depends on Israeli cooperation. The report also notes that Netanyahu reiterated his opposition to a Palestinian state.

The article places the dispute against the backdrop of continuing violence in Gaza despite a ceasefire agreement announced in October 2025, with Palestinian health authorities reporting a heavy toll from attacks since then. More broadly, the issue matters because it affects efforts to define Gaza’s future governance, security and reconstruction.
