NewzIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected a United States-backed proposal regarding the conflict in Gaza, stating that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will not withdraw from the territory until Hamas is disarmed. Netanyahu further declared that he remains opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state as long as he serves as prime minister.
In response to these developments, Hamas has called upon the United States to exert greater pressure on the Israeli government to accept the proposed plan for Gaza. The statements underscore a significant impasse between the Israeli leadership and international mediators regarding the conditions for a ceasefire and the long-term political future of the region.
