WHAT HAPPENED
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a United States‑backed proposal for Israel to withdraw from Gaza, stating that the country will not pull out until Hamas is completely disarmed, according to Latest News From Euronews | Euro.
Netanyahu’s stance comes amid Washington’s efforts to secure a ceasefire in the Gaza conflict. He explicitly pushed back against the US‑sponsored deal, warning that any withdrawal would be conditional on the removal of all Hamas weapons. The announcement follows escalating tensions on the ground, highlighted by The Times of Israel’s report that Hamas held a mass funeral for 112 people it says were killed in an initial Israeli strike, underscoring the ongoing human toll of the war.
The decision reflects Israel’s continued insistence on stringent security measures before any disengagement, while the U.S. seeks to broker a broader ceasefire. Netanyahu’s refusal signals a hardening of Israeli policy that could prolong hostilities in Gaza.
