Netanyahu Rejects US Gaza Disarmament Proposal, Vowing Continued Military Presence
Summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected a disarmament plan proposed by Donald Trump, stating that Israeli forces will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed. This political stance reinforces Israel's commitment to a prolonged military presence in the enclave, complicating diplomatic efforts for a ceasefire and potentially prolonging the humanitarian crisis and regional instability tied to the broader Iran-Israel conflict.
