The Story in Brief
Israel has rejected US President Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan for Gaza. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told his cabinet that the 15-point document was not acceptable and that Israeli forces would not withdraw until Hamas fully disarms. “We sent our comments,” he said, claiming the original draft did not reflect Israel’s position.
A group of eight Muslim-majority countries, UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, issued a joint statement warning that continued Israeli military operations could derail the US-backed framework. Hamas, meanwhile, told mediators it is ready to proceed with the plan and urged pressure on Israel. The main dispute centres on the order of Hamas disarmament and Israeli withdrawal.
The Indian Opinion
The narrative that a 'Trump peace framework' exists assumes all sides want it. Israel has now explicitly rejected it, while Hamas says yes. The real story is the familiar impasse: Israel demands total disarmament before any pullout; regional powers want the opposite sequencing. The lazy framing of 'Muslim nations unite' ignores how different their ties to Israel are, from UAE’s normalisation to Turkey’s hostility. Watch whether the US pushes a revised draft or lets this plan quietly fail.
