Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-backed Gaza peace plan, saying the military will not withdraw from the region until Hamas is genuinely disarmed. The Trump administration is said to be unbothered by the rejection, viewing it as campaign rhetoric ahead of a general election. President Trump had hailed the plan on July 30 as a breakthrough, saying Hamas and other Gaza militants had accepted a 15-point roadmap by his so-called 'Board of Peace' to give up their weapons. The core dispute is whether disarmament should come before withdrawal or vice versa. With Netanyahu rejecting the plan, its future remains in question.
