Netanyahu rejects Board of Peace's Gaza plan: No 'withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed'
Israel is rejecting a 15-point Gaza proposal put forward by the Board of Peace, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, speaking Sunday and saying Israeli forces won't withdraw until Hamas fully gives up its weapons.
"Israel rejects the 15-point Gaza document proposed by the Board of Peace."
"The IDF will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed."
"It needs to be genuine disarmament, not fictitious disarmament."
"When I say Hamas is disarmed, that means the heavy weapons, the less heavy weapons, all the weapons."
"As long as I am prime minister, there will be no Palestinian state, not in Gaza and not in Judea and Samaria. Neither 'Fatahstan' nor 'Hamastan.'"
On Iran, Netanyahu said Tehran has refrained from striking Israel because "it knows what a powerful blow we will deal it if it does." He added: "I greatly appreciate President Trump. He is the greatest of our friends in the White House."
"With or without an agreement, as long as I am Prime Minister, Iran will not have a nuclear weapon."
The article notes Israel has continued strikes in Gaza since the October 2025 ceasefire. Netanyahu said the military had recently acted "forcefully" in Lebanon with "very important activity" there.
