Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the United States President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza, asserting that Israel will not withdraw forces until Palestinian group Hamas is fully disarmed. Speaking at a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu emphasized that this condition would remain firm during negotiations with the Americans. The Israeli army, according to Netanyahu, will continue thwarting threats against its forces and citizens in Gaza. Since October 2018, Israel has been carrying out near-daily deadly attacks across the Gaza Strip, despite agreeing to a ceasefire with Hamas. Trump's peace plan, announced on July 30, envisioned complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza as a step towards lasting peace and security. However, the US-led Board of Peace has stated that an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza would only occur after Hamas's disarmament is complete. Netanyahu's rejection of the plan raises questions about the path out of hostilities for Palestinians, while his conditions could prove extremely problematic for the Board of Peace and mediators who have been working to carry out Hamas's disarmament. The roadmap involves transferring Gaza's day-to-day administration to a technocratic Palestinian committee under the oversight of the Board of Peace, but its progress depends on Israeli support, as it has limited power without it. Since October 2018, over 73,300 people have died and 174,000 been wounded in Gaza, with experts expressing skepticism about Israel's commitment to honor the ceasefire agreement.
