Overview
- President Trump unveiled the 15-point proposal in late July to link a phased Israeli withdrawal to a verified, staged disarmament of Hamas and the creation of a temporary Palestinian administration.
- On Sunday, August 9, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejected the plan and said Israeli forces will not withdraw until Hamas is 'really' and fully disarmed.
- The Peace Board (Junta de Paz) has already tightened its language to tie withdrawal beyond the 'línea amarilla' to completion of disarmament, but U.S.–Israel talks continue without resolving sequencing or verification rules.
- Hamas says it accepted the U.S. plan and urged Washington to pressure Israel to implement it, while regional mediators Egypt and Turkey pressed for the plan's enactment and an immediate halt to hostilities.
- Netanyahu's stance is shaped by pressure from his right‑wing coalition and an October election and risks prolonging Israel's military presence, delaying Gaza reconstruction and creating fresh strain in U.S.–Israel relations.
