Netanyahu Rejects Peace Council's 15-Point Gaza Proposal, Demands Hamas Disarmament

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu opened a government meeting by firmly rejecting the 15-point document issued by the Peace Council regarding Gaza. The document was presented as part of a "roadmap" toward an agreement with Hamas, which would include the disarmament of the terrorist organization. Netanyahu emphasized that the Israel Defense Forces will not withdraw from Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed. He clarified that disarmament means the removal of all weapons, including both heavy and light arms, stressing the need for genuine, not superficial, disarmament. Netanyahu also noted ongoing discussions with the United States on this issue, stating that some American proposals are acceptable to Israel while others are not.
