Until Hamas is “truly” disarmed.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected U.S. President Donald Trump’s 15-point plan for Gaza, stating that Israeli troops will not withdraw until Hamas is “truly” disarmed, according to BBC.

“Israel does not accept this 15-point document,” Netanyahu said at a cabinet meeting on Sunday.

The Israeli Defense Forces “will not carry out any troop withdrawal until Hamas is truly disarmed, and will continue to counter threats against our troops and our citizens,” he added.

Trump’s “Peace Council” announced in July that it had reached an agreement on the “complete disarmament” of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.

However, Hamas stated that the surrender of heavy weapons depends on Israel ceasing “all forms of aggression” and withdrawing its troops from Gaza. A senior Hamas official told Reuters that the group remains committed to the peace plan agreed upon in Cairo in July.

In July, Trump announced a “monumental step toward lasting peace and security” after Hamas said it had accepted the disarmament plan for the Gaza Strip.

However, Netanyahu stated that Hamas must disarm before Israel withdraws its troops from Gaza, adding that this cannot be some kind of “sham disarmament.”

He said he is currently in talks with U.S. officials on how to proceed.
