🇮🇱🇺🇸 Israel rejects the next stage of Trump’s Gaza plan
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a U.S. proposal to move forward to the next phase of the Gaza peace plan, marking a rare public divergence with Donald Trump.
The plan called for Hamas to hand over its weapons while Israeli forces would gradually withdraw from the territory. Netanyahu, however, argues that any withdrawal can only occur after Hamas is completely disarmed.
Israel’s position puts pressure on the deal that Trump had, only a few weeks earlier, labeled “historic” and raises doubts about Washington’s ability to turn the ceasefire into a lasting solution for Gaza. (The Wall Street Journal)
🌍 The dispute over the sequence between disarmament and military withdrawal could become one of the main hurdles for the next phase of the negotiations.
