Israel rejects Trump's 15-point Gaza plan until Hamas disarms

Israel rejects Trump's 15-point Gaza plan until Hamas disarms
Netanyahu rejects Trump’s 15-point Board of Peace plan, sets condition for pulling out from Gaza - World News · financialexpress.com

There is a plan to try to make peace between Israel and a group called Hamas, which ruled a place called Gaza.

The plan has 15 points and was made by the President of the United States, Donald Trump.

Both Israel and Hamas said yes to the plan, and a ceasefire, which is a promise to stop fighting, started in October.

But Israel's leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, now says Israel does not like the plan.

He says Israeli soldiers will not leave Gaza until Hamas gives up all of its weapons, including big guns and small guns.

He wants what he calls real disarmament, not fake disarmament.

Hamas says it was ready to give its weapons to a new group that would run Gaza, but it wants Israel to stop attacking first.

Israel has stopped some of its attacks but is still fighting in some places.

Many people have been hurt and killed since the ceasefire began, and the leaders do not agree on what should happen next.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

Israel's head of government

““Israel does not accept the 15‑point document,” Netanyahu said at the start of a meeting with cabinet ministers. “The military will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed … it means heavy weaponry, lighter weaponry, all weaponry. And we are talking about genuine disarmament, not fictitious disarmament.””

“"We expect the mediators and the U.S. guarantor to press Netanyahu and his government to adhere to the roadmap and not obstruct the process for internal political and electoral reasons, while continuing to jeopardise the region’s security and stability."”
