Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel has not endorsed the draft agreement put forth by the administration of former U.S. President Donald Trump concerning the dismantling of Hamas and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip. While Netanyahu noted that Trump’s team suggested they could persuade Hamas to disarm and demilitarize Gaza, he stressed that the proposal did not reflect Israel’s official stance.
“They sent us a draft, but we did not agree with it. This is not our draft. We sent our comments,” Netanyahu declared, confirming that Hamas has accepted the complete dismantling of the territory, while Trump had announced a potential Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
The Prime Minister added that Israel’s formal comments were submitted prior to the public debate and media campaign surrounding the matter. He emphasized that Israel will continue to defend its interests. The remarks clarify that while the Trump administration presented a framework, Israel maintains its own set of positions and has not accepted the draft agreement as presented.
