At a critical moment, Israel backtracked—Netanyahu publicly contradicted Trump! On August 9, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu rejected the Gaza peace plan proposed by the U.S.-initiated "Peace Commission," stating clearly that Israeli forces would not withdraw from the Gaza Strip until Hamas is genuinely disarmed. Israel refused to accept the 15-point document. They (the Americans) have their own ideas—some we can accept, some we cannot.
The whole world knows this so-called "Peace Commission" was proposed and guaranteed by Trump, including the peace plan for the Gaza region. Now that Hamas has begun gradually disarming, Israel is backing out again, even refusing the most basic withdrawal. According to Netanyahu’s current stance, all armed groups within Palestinian territory—including Hamas—must completely disarm and surrender all light and heavy weapons before any progress can be made.
Evidently, this condition exceeds the scope previously agreed upon by the "Peace Commission" with Hamas. In fact, many foreign media outlets have commented that this so-called peace plan is merely a trap devised by Israel to lure Palestinian armed groups into surrendering. Once these groups fully hand over their arms, it will mark the beginning of Palestine's complete annexation by Israel. Israel has consistently aimed to eliminate these armed groups entirely, seize Palestinian land, and expel Palestinian civilians.
For armed groups including Hamas, full disarmament would amount to self-defeat—effectively aiding Israel.
