Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu has just rejected President Trump’s Board of Peace plan for Gaza that deals with the disarmament of Hamas.
In short, he says the IDF will NOT withdraw until Hamas surrenders all of it’s arms.
Here’s the news from Fox News:
Netanyahu rejects Trump’s Board of Peace 15-point Gaza proposal outright, declaring the IDF will not withdraw until Hamas surrenders every weapon it has — heavy, light, all of it.
The Israeli prime minister is insisting “genuine disarmament, not fictitious disarmament” is the only acceptable precondition for withdrawal. Hamas says it expects mediators to “press Netanyahu and his government to adhere to the roadmap” agreed upon in Cairo 10 days ago.

Israel is rejecting a 15-point Gaza proposal put forward by the Board of Peace, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday, declaring that Israeli forces will not withdraw from the enclave until Hamas fully gives up its weapons.
“Israel rejects the 15-point Gaza document proposed by the Board of Peace,” Netanyahu said at Sunday’s Cabinet meeting. “The IDF will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed.”
Israel remains in discussions with the United States over the disarmament of Hamas but insisted any agreement would have to result in the terror group surrendering its entire arsenal, according to Netanyahu.
“It needs to be genuine disarmament, not fictitious disarmament,” Netanyahu said.
“When I say Hamas is disarmed, that means the heavy weapons, the less heavy weapons, all the weapons,” he added.
Hamas remains committed to a Gaza roadmap agreed with mediators and representatives of the Board of Peace in Cairo 10 days ago, senior Hamas official Basem Naim told Reuters.
Hamas expects mediators and the United States to “press Netanyahu and his government to adhere to the roadmap,” he added.
