Trump's Gaza ceasefire proposal remains active despite Netanyahu's rejection
A Board of Peace spokesperson said President Donald Trump's Gaza plan is still in effect and talks with Israel continue, even after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected any Israeli pullout until Hamas is fully disarmed.
According to a Board of Peace official, President Donald Trump's proposal to halt the Gaza war remains operative, and diplomatic engagement with Israel is still underway. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, speaking to his right-wing coalition on television, again rejected any Israeli withdrawal until Hamas is "genuinely disarmed." The spokesperson highlighted that the plan's implementation relies on a step-by-step verification process, ensuring that each stage proceeds only after required commitments are met.
Trump had announced a breakthrough in the plan, which calls for Israeli forces to pull out of Gaza as Hamas disarms, while an International Stabilization Force works alongside a newly formed Palestinian police force to maintain security. The official noted that the roadmap is a dialogue between the Board of Peace and Hamas, with Israel not being asked to make irreversible moves before ground-level verification. Despite Israel's recent pause in military operations under U.S. pressure, the plan's timeline and details continue to face challenges.
