Israel Rejects U.S. Peace Plan for Gaza Accepted by Hamas
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced the rejection of a U.S. peace plan for Gaza, which had been accepted by Hamas. The plan, presented by the 'Council of Peace' under President Trump, aimed to initiate a second phase of peace efforts in Gaza, contingent upon the disarmament of Hamas. Netanyahu's rejection is influenced by internal political pressures and upcoming legislative elections. The plan proposed a gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops linked to Hamas's disarmament, which Netanyahu opposes, demanding complete disarmament before any troop withdrawal.
