Netanyahu Rejects Trump Plan for Gaza Disarmament Sequencing

Executive takeaway

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas is disarmed, pushing back against a US-backed proposal.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a Gaza disarmament plan put forward by US President Donald Trump, according to the Financial Times. Netanyahu said Israeli forces will not withdraw from the Palestinian enclave "until Hamas is disarmed," setting the sequencing of any Israeli pullback against the completion of disarmament rather than running the two in parallel. The statement marks a public divergence between the Israeli government and the White House over how the next phase of the Gaza arrangement should be implemented. No revised timetable was disclosed.
