Israel Turns Down Trump's 15-Point Gaza Peace Proposal, Netanyahu States

Israel's Response to Trump's Gaza Peace Plan

Official Statement from Prime Minister Netanyahu

JERUSALEM, Aug 9 (Reuters) - Israel has rejected U.S. President Donald Trump's Board of Peace 15-point plan for Gaza, and will not withdraw until Hamas fully disarms, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday.

Background on the Peace Proposal

Trump announced last month that there had been a breakthrough in his plan to end the war, which both Israel and Hamas agreed to last year and which started with the ceasefire.

Ceasefire and Continued Strikes

Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Gaza since agreeing to the ceasefire last October.

Hamas' Position and Agreement

Trump said that Hamas, which ruled Gaza for nearly two decades before carrying out the October 7, 2023, attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war, had agreed to lay down its weapons.

Key Takeaways

  • Israel demands full disarmament of Hamas before any withdrawal, rejecting the U.S. Board of Peace roadmap that suggests phased steps or partial withdrawal
  • Progress on Trump’s broader 20‑point peace plan is stalled due to deadlock over Hamas demilitarization and sequencing of withdrawal and reconstruction efforts
  • Israel continues military operations in Gaza, emphasizing national security concerns and authority to act against threats—even as international reconstruction and stabilization mechanisms remain stalled
