BENJAMIN Netanyahu has spurned Donald Trump’s 15-point Board of Peace plan for Gaza.
The Israeli PM vowed that his military will make “no withdrawal” from Palestinian territory until Hamas has fully disarmed.
Netanyahu also warned that there will be no Palestinian state in Gaza or the West Bank for as long as he remains in office.
It comes after Trump claimed last month that there had been a breakthrough in his plan to end the war.
The US president made the bombshell announcement that Hamas had finally agreed to lay down its weapons.
Since the ceasefire agreement came into effect last October, Palestinian officials say around 1,200 people – most women and children – have been killed in Israeli strikes.
During a cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu said: “Israel rejects the 15-point document.”
He added the Israeli military would “not withdraw at all until Hamas is genuinely disarmed and will continue to thwart threats against our forces and citizens”.
“And when I say disarm Hamas, that means heavy weapons, less-heavy weapons, all weapons. And we are talking about real disarmament, not a fictitious disarmament,” Netanyahu said.
“We are now discussing this with the Americans. They have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some are not, and we know how to stand up to those things.”
