What was reported
A plain summary of this topic, built from the channels that covered it.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly rejected President Trump's peace plan for Gaza. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu said Israel would not withdraw from the Gaza Strip until Hamas fully disarms, and insisted that any disarmament must be genuine, not a 'fictitious' process. The plan, announced by Trump just over a week earlier, had proposed that Hamas disarm in exchange for an Israeli withdrawal. Netanyahu said he is in discussion with American officials about how to proceed. The BBC's correspondent noted that with Israeli elections due in a few months, Netanyahu is unlikely to make concessions and an Israeli withdrawal before those elections is considered unimaginable. Separately, BBC News reported that Israel has continued to carry out strikes on Gaza since agreeing to an initial ceasefire in October.
