Netanyahu Officials Hamper Trump's Gaza Peace Plan, Haaretz Reports
Israeli officials, with the backing of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are obstructing the implementation of a peace plan proposed by the United States for Gaza, according to a report by the newspaper Haaretz. Representatives from the National Security Council, the Ministry of Defense, and officers from the IDF's Southern Command are reportedly refusing to cooperate with the Trump Peace Council.
A source cited by Haaretz indicated significant disagreements between the American and Israeli leadership, stating, "They are not even trying to hide it anymore. They say, 'We will not cooperate with you because you have set us up.'"
The plan in question is a 15-point proposal released by the Trump Peace Council on July 30. It outlines the disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian factions, the transfer of Gaza's administration to a Palestinian national committee, and a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces.
Netanyahu had previously rejected the plan on August 9, demanding the complete disarmament of armed groups before any IDF withdrawal. Haaretz also reported that Israeli representatives fear the initiative's implementation could create an impression that the government is "betraying Israel."
