Netanyahu rejects Board of Peace 15-point peace plan until Hamas 'truly disarmed'

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Sunday that Israel would reject the 15-point proposal for peace in Gaza put forward by President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace. "Israel rejects the 15-point document," Netanyahu said at the start of a cabinet meeting on Sunday. "The IDF will not make any withdrawal until Hamas is truly disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and citizens." Trump in July announced an agreement for Hamas to disarm and for the Israel Defense Forces to withdraw from the Gaza Strip as part of a U.S.-brokered ceasefire signed last year.
