Netanyahu nixes Trump’s Gaza peace plan | 9 Aug 2026 | Israel has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s 15-point peace plan for Gaza and will not withdraw troops from the Palestinian enclave until Hamas is completely disarmed, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [Satanyahu] said on Sunday. The roadmap was published last month as part of efforts by the Trump-led Board of Peace to end the Gaza conflict. It calls for Hamas to relinquish control of Gaza and for its weapons to come under the authority of a Palestinian administration. The process would be linked to a phased Israeli withdrawal and independently verified before each new stage begins. “I want to be clear: Israel rejects the 15-point document,” Netanyahu said during a meeting with cabinet members. “The IDF will not withdraw in any way until Hamas is disarmed…We are talking about complete disarmament, not a fictitious disarmament,” he said.
