# Netanyahu rejects Trump’s Gaza peace plan ahead of elections 2026-08-09T23:47:45+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has officially rejected the US-led 15-point Gaza peace plan endorsed by Hamas, putting himself at odds with President Donald Trump. Addressing his cabinet on Sunday, Netanyahu said Israel's military 'will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed,' and reiterated his opposition to the deal, which Hamas accepted in late July. The rejection comes as Netanyahu faces a tight election race on October 27 and pressure from his right-wing coalition allies, who oppose the plan. Hamas called on the US to pressure Netanyahu to accept the roadmap. Egypt, a key mediator, urged all sides to honour their commitments. Meanwhile, Israeli military operations in Gaza have decreased since the plan's announcement, but localised violence continues. Separately, Yemen's Houthi rebels attacked a government-held port at Mokha and a Saudi Aramco refinery, raising fears of renewed civil war, while Iran and Oman discussed a temporary arrangement to manage shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. ## Coverage - english.mathrubhumi.com - telanganatoday.com Tags: Benjamin Netanyahu, Donald Trump, Gaza, Hamas, Israel, US foreign policy Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/netanyahu-rejects-15-point-gaza-peace-plan-defies-trump/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
