Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that Israel did not agree to a US-backed plan for Gaza, according to a report. The statement follows his earlier revelation that a US draft agreement for Gaza demilitarization was rejected.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Wednesday that Israel has not agreed to a US-backed plan for Gaza, according to a report. The statement, attributed to the prime minister, did not specify which plan or whether it is the same draft agreement for Gaza demilitarization that he revealed earlier in the day.
At 07:20 Wednesday, The Zioneer reported that Netanyahu had revealed that the United States sent a secret draft agreement for the demilitarization of Gaza, which Israel rejected. The prime minister compared the proposal to the Hezbollah model in Lebanon, warning it would allow Hamas to retain control of the territory.
The new statement reinforces Israel's position of rejecting US-proposed frameworks for Gaza without its approval. The prime minister has previously expressed differences with the Trump administration over Gaza policy, as The Zioneer reported on August 3. No further details on the nature of the plan or the US response were provided in the report.
