Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on August 9, 2026, that Israel rejects the "15-Point" peace plan proposed by the Gaza Peace Council. Speaking at the start of a government meeting, Netanyahu emphasized that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will not withdraw from any positions until Hamas is genuinely disarmed. He clarified that the disarmament must be real and not symbolic, stating, "We are discussing this with the Americans. They have ideas, some of which we accept and others we do not, and we know how to stand firm on these issues." Netanyahu also affirmed that the IDF will continue to thwart threats against Israeli forces and civilians.
This statement comes amid ongoing discussions within Israel's security establishment about potential limited IDF withdrawals inside Gaza and the deployment of a multinational force to replace Israeli troops in certain areas. However, a security official expressed concern over the small size of the multinational contingent expected to arrive, describing it as insufficient and warning that the U.S. is leaving Israel with few options, thereby complicating the situation in Gaza.
Despite repeated official declarations that the IDF will not retreat from the "yellow line" in Gaza, these internal debates signal a complex security environment. Netanyahu also expressed appreciation for U.S. President Donald Trump and the partnership between the countries but maintained a firm stance on Israel's security requirements regarding Hamas's disarmament.
