Israel has rejected President Donald Trump’s 15-point Gaza plan, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israel will not withdraw from its current positions until Hamas is completely disarmed. Netanyahu has also said Israel did not agree to the latest U.S. backed draft and has submitted its own changes.
The development comes amid separate reporting that, during U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) Commander Adm. Brad Cooper’s recent visit to Israel, Israeli officials indicated that Israel is prepared to resume military operations against Iran unilaterally if it determines that further action is necessary. Earlier reporting has also indicated that Israel and the U.S. have maintained contingency plans for renewed strikes against Iran during the ceasefire period.
