Netanyahu Rejects Board of Peace Gaza Plan
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu explicitly rejected the Board of Peace's draft disarmament proposal, insisting Israeli troops will not withdraw from current lines until Hamas surrenders all weapons. Board envoy Nikolay Mladenov met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem to prevent the ceasefire roadmap from collapsing.
Netanyahu's public rejection of the Board of Peace draft proves Israel will not cede territory without prior disarmament — leaving Washington's ceasefire framework near total collapse.
Background The Gaza Strip faces catastrophic destruction following three years of combat, leaving 2M residents dependent on emergency international aid. The U.S.-backed Board of Peace set a 14-day timeline for Hamas to disarm and Israeli forces to pull back, but neither party trusts the other to execute first.
Points
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement confirming Israel rejected the Board of Peace draft proposal, insisting the IDF will maintain all current positions controlling over 60% of Gaza.
Board of Peace envoy Nikolay Mladenov met with Netanyahu in Jerusalem, urging a halt to airstrikes while reassuring Israeli leadership that troop pullbacks occur only after weapons decommissioning.
Far-right Israeli coalition ministers requested a formal security cabinet vote to reject the U.S. proposal, warning that accepting a premature military pullback threatens national security.
Israeli aerial bombardments killed at least 28 Palestinians across Gaza over 48 hours, drawing public criticism from Board of Peace envoys as strikes destroyed critical medical supplies.
Watch If Mladenov fails to secure an audited weapons handover schedule before the 14-day Board of Peace window expires, Netanyahu will resume full military operations across Gaza.
