Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated Sunday that Israel rejects the Board of Peace's Gaza disarmament plan, according to a Times of Israel report. The plan, which calls for the complete decommissioning of weapons held by Hamas and other armed factions in Gaza, has been a central point of diplomatic contention.
The Zioneer previously reported that on July 31, Hamas formally agreed to the Board of Peace plan, with President Trump announcing a framework for total demilitarization within 200 to 300 days. However, Hamas negotiator Razi Hamed later denied agreeing to disarmament or Israeli involvement. Netanyahu himself said on August 5 that Israel did not agree to the US-backed plan, and the security cabinet revealed that Israel had not signed the roadmap or multinational force agreement.
The prime minister's latest statement reaffirms that position, though specific details of the rejection—such as whether it applies to the entire framework or particular provisions—were not provided. The Board of Peace, led by Nikolay Mladenov, has insisted on full disarmament before any IDF withdrawal, a stance that aligns with Israeli security requirements.
