Netanyahu rejects U.S.-backed Gaza withdrawal plan

🇮🇱 ISRAEL — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected an American-supported proposal for a phased withdrawal from Gaza. The Israeli leadership insists that no troop pullback will occur until Hamas is fully disarmed, effectively stalling international efforts for a ceasefire roadmap. While Hamas has expressed readiness to proceed with the planned framework, the impasse highlights a deepening divide over post-conflict governance in the territory.
