Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has firmly ruled out the establishment of a Palestinian state in Gaza or the West Bank as long as he is in power, directly contradicting US President Donald Trump's recently unveiled peace roadmap. Aajtak reports that Netanyahu stated Israeli forces will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas completely surrenders its arms. Trump's 15-point plan proposed a phased end to the war, including Hamas disarming, Israeli withdrawal, and handing Gaza's administration to a Palestinian technical body. However, Hamas has countered that Israel must first stop attacks and withdraw troops before it considers surrendering weapons. Eight Muslim-majority nations, including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, have warned that Israel's continued military operations could derail the US-backed peace initiative.
