Background

Why this event matters

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a US-led 15-point peace plan for Gaza, a move that has created diplomatic friction with US President Donald Trump. The plan, which was endorsed by Hamas, remains unresolved regarding ceasefire terms and the timeline for Israel’s withdrawal. Netanyahu’s decision is widely interpreted as a political manoeuvre to secure support from far-right coalition members ahead of upcoming Israeli elections, with the Prime Minister insisting that Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is "genuinely disarmed". This stance mirrors the position taken last week by the US-led Board of Peacemakers. The ongoing conflict has resulted in a death toll surpassing 73,000.
