In a brief response to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rejection of the proposed 15-point peace plan for Gaza, crafted by the US-led Board of Peace, President Donald Trump asserted that their relationship remains strong. The Israeli leader explicitly rejected the plan on Sunday, stating his opposition to Israel withdrawing troops in tandem with disarmament by Hamas, a key component of the peace plan announced by Trump last month. Netanyahu's refusal signals a growing policy disagreement between the US and Israel over Tel Aviv's hard-power strategy. The Israeli Prime Minister's stance has been criticized as playing a "very dangerous game" with Trump, given the increasing unpopularity of Israel in the US, particularly among Democrats who are increasingly supportive of the Palestinian cause. Despite Netanyahu's rejection, a Board of Peace official maintains that the Gaza plan remains operative, with discussions continuing between the board and Israel, emphasizing that each stage only moves forward once the required commitments have been met. The White House and US Department of State have yet to comment on Netanyahu's remarks.
