After extended silence, PM insists IDF won’t withdraw from ‘current lines’ until Hamas fully disarmed, in seeming opposition to US-backed plan for initial Israeli pullback within Gaza
In his first public comments on the matter, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that Israel has not agreed to the Board of Peace’s disarmament plan, which was accepted by Hamas last week.
A senior US official briefing reporters last week said the disarmament proposal is an extension of Trump’s 20-point plan for ending the Gaza war, which Israel already accepted last fall. Accordingly, Israel is only being asked to maintain its adherence to the 20-point plan, the US official said, adding that Trump would be “very disappointed” in Jerusalem if it blocked the proposal’s advancement.
However, with Israel seemingly opposed to the proposal, the Board of Peace’s top envoys visited Jerusalem to meet with Netanyahu on Monday in a bid to bring him on board.
