Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel has not accepted the draft agreement put forward by the administration of former US President Donald Trump regarding the disarmament of Hamas and the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu indicated that while Trump’s team believes it can persuade Hamas to surrender its weaponry and demilitarize Gaza, the specific proposal presented does not reflect Israel’s official stance. “They sent us a draft, but we didn’t agree with it.
This is not our draft. We sent our comments,” he stated. Netanyahu also added that Israel submitted its comments prior to the public debate and media coverage surrounding the matter.
He emphasized that Israel intends to continue defending its interests “wisely and decisively,” implying that any future agreement must align with his government’s requirements. This statement comes in the context of previous reports where Trump had announced that following the disarmament of Hamas, Israeli forces would withdraw from Palestinian territory. The former American leader had characterized the agreement as a “historic step” toward achieving peace and security, outlining that its implementation would occur in distinct phases.
Despite the stated framework by Trump, Netanyahu clarified that the proposed terms for Gaza are not accepted by the current Israeli government.
