Netanyahu Rejects Trump's 15-Point Plan for Gaza, Vows No Military Pullout Will Happen Until Hamas Is Disarmed

Israel rejected the U.S.-backed plan as Hamas accepted it, and subsequent strikes killed 26 Palestinians and wounded 76, officials said.

  • On Sunday, August 9, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected President Donald Trump's 15-point Gaza plan during a cabinet meeting, directly challenging the US-backed framework Trump had presented as a major breakthrough.
  • A fundamental sequencing dispute has stalled the initiative, as Israel demands Hamas be "genuinely disarmed" before any military withdrawal occurs, while Hamas insists military campaign cessation and withdrawal commitments must precede weapon surrenders.
  • United Nations reports indicate most of Gaza's population remains displaced, with roughly 65 per cent of the territory under tighter Israeli control, while humanitarian operations face severe restrictions affecting access to water, healthcare, and sanitation.
  • Netanyahu further declared that "no Palestinian state will arise" while he remains prime minister, indicating disagreements extend beyond immediate disarmament questions and complicate any new administrative structure implementation.
  • Trump faces a major diplomatic test as Israel continues intensive strikes across Gaza, and critics note the deadlock risks prolonging instability, leaving the US-backed framework as a blueprint rather than a pathway to resolution.
