Israeli PM Netanyahu Rejects US-Backed 15-Point Gaza Peace Plan, Demands Full Hamas Disarmament

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejected a 15-point peace plan for Gaza proposed by the US-backed "Board of Peace," stating that Israel would not accept any troop withdrawal until Hamas is completely disarmed of all weapons. This rejection comes despite earlier reports that Hamas had agreed to lay down arms as part of the plan's second phase, highlighting a significant diplomatic impasse in efforts to resolve the conflict.
