Netanyahu Rejects Trump’s 15-Point Gaza Peace Plan

HeadlineAug 10, 2026

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected President Trump’s 15-point Gaza peace plan in a public split with the U.S. leader. The proposal requires Hamas to disarm fully before Israel withdraws and Palestinians gain independence, but Netanyahu demanded complete disarmament upfront before any phased implementation begins. Here’s Netanyahu on Sunday.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “As long as I am prime minister, a Palestinian state will not be established — not in Gaza and not in Judea and Samaria, not a 'Fatah-stan,' not a 'Hamas-stan.'”

Palestinians in Gaza responded to Netanyahu’s rejection of Trump’s 15-point peace plan.

Ahmed al-Wahidi: “We wished for the war to end and to live in peace. As they say Prime Minister Netanyahu agrees with peace and all this stuff, all of this is a lie. Netanyahu’s response was expected. We are used to this issue that he always rejects. He doesn’t care about peace. He doesn’t care about the people. He doesn’t care about anything. The most important thing is that he wins elections.”
