Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday rejected a 15-point Gaza deal announced by US President Donald Trump, insisting Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is "genuinely disarmed". Netanyahu told a cabinet meeting, "Israel rejects the 15-point document", though discussions with Washington will continue. Trump had linked Israeli withdrawal to completion of Hamas disarmament. Israeli forces now control more than half of Gaza, home to 2 million people. The Associated Press reported no immediate White House response. Hamas political bureau member Bassem Naim said the group remains committed to the roadmap and expects mediators and the US to pressure Netanyahu. Trump's peace board chief insisted the plan remains the only way to prevent another October 7-style attack, NDTV reported. Netanyahu faces domestic political pressure ahead of elections scheduled for October 27. A fragile ceasefire holds while negotiations continue over Gaza's future and conditions for a lasting settlement.
