Neither ‘Fatahstan’ nor ‘Hamastan.’”The Israeli leader noted that talks with the Trump administration are ongoing.“They have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some of which are not, and we know how to stand up to these things,” he said. “We have proven this in the past and we are proving it today.”WATCH: Netanyahu rejects Trump’s 15-point Gaza plan, saying Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is “genuinely disarmed.” Read more: https://t.co/OqtcZ3GbXr pic.twitter.com/hGPMwP27Qe— Arab News (@arabnews) August 9, 2026Trump’s Board of Peace announced the 15-point framework late last month, describing it as a breakthrough that would lead to the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.Under the proposal, Hamas would hand over its weapons in stages to a new Palestinian administration. In exchange, Israel would gradually withdraw from the large portions of Gaza it still controls.An international force and new Palestinian police were envisioned to help provide security, with the Board of Peace overseeing reconstruction and transitional governance.Hamas had signaled acceptance of the roadmap. Netanyahu’s outright rejection marks a significant public difference with the White House on the sequencing of any deal, with the Israeli prime minister insisting that full disarmament must come first, before any Israeli pullback.The comments come as Netanyahu faces elections later this year and continues to push for what he calls “absolute victory” over Hamas following the October 7, 2023, massacre that sparked the war in Gaza.Separately, long-running claims that Israel “funded Hamas” refer mainly to earlier Israeli coordination of Qatari cash transfers into Gaza for civilian salaries, fuel and humanitarian needs under Hamas rule.Critics have argued that those transfers ultimately strengthened Hamas. Israeli officials, however, maintained that the money was intended to prevent the collapse of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure and maintain calm, while Hamas’s primary military support came from Iran and other sources.As of Sunday, the path forward on Gaza remains uncertain, with Israel standing firm that Hamas must be fully stripped of its weapons before any territorial concessions.Israeli strikes continue in southern Lebanon despite ceasefire extensionThe post Netanyahu Rejects Trump’s Board of Peace 15-Point Gaza Plan: ‘No Withdrawal Until Hamas Fully Disarms’ appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
