Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he would not go along with US President Donald Trump on his 15-point plan for Gaza.
Netanyahu stated that there will be no military pull-out until Hamas is “genuinely” disarmed.
Trump’s Board of Peace said last month it had reached an agreement for the “complete disarmament” of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.
But Hamas said handing over its heavy weapons was contingent on Israel ending “all forms of aggression” and withdrawing its forces from Gaza.
Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Gaza since agreeing to an initial ceasefire in the territory last October.
“Israel rejects the 15-point document,” Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting on Sunday.
The Israeli military “will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and our citizens”, he added.
He said he was now in discussion with US officials about how to go forward.
“They have ideas; some of them are acceptable to us and some are not, and we know how to stand our ground on these matters,” he said. BBC
