Netanyahu rejects Trump's Gaza plan, risking rift with US

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rejected a US-backed 15-point plan for Gaza, insisting Israel will not withdraw from the territory until Hamas is completely disarmed. The move, which blindsided Israeli commanders, risks straining ties with President Donald Trump, who had proposed a phased withdrawal and Hamas disarmament. With Israeli elections looming, Netanyahu faces pressure from far-right coalition partners who oppose any concessions.
