What now as Israel rejects Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza?

What the report says

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected President Donald Trump’s 15-point Gaza plan, saying Israeli forces will not pull back until Hamas is fully and genuinely disarmed. Al Jazeera reported that Netanyahu made the remarks at a cabinet meeting, while also saying Israel is still in contact with Washington about parts of the proposal.

The plan, introduced by a US-led Board of Peace and tied to a UN Security Council resolution, sets out a phased process in which Hamas would surrender its weapons, Israel would withdraw in stages, and Gaza would eventually be governed by a new Palestinian committee backed by an international security force. Al Jazeera said the latest dispute centers on sequencing: the Board of Peace has said withdrawal would come only after disarmament is complete, while Hamas has indicated that its compliance depends on Israel meeting its own commitments.

The rejection matters because it adds uncertainty to already fragile ceasefire efforts and raises questions about whether the plan can move forward at all. Reporting from Gaza and the occupied West Bank quoted analysts and residents who said the move was expected but could deepen confusion about security arrangements, reconstruction and the prospect of ending hostilities.

Al Jazeera also placed the dispute in a wider political context, saying Netanyahu faces pressure from his right-wing base and an approaching election, while critics argue the proposal has largely reflected Israeli security priorities rather than Palestinian self-determination.
