Netanyahu rejects U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has announced that Israel rejects a 15-point peace plan for Gaza that was backed by the United States. The plan, which had been presented as a potential framework for ending the ongoing conflict, was dismissed by Netanyahu without offering a detailed public explanation for the refusal. The rejection marks a significant setback for diplomatic efforts led by Washington to broker a ceasefire and a longer-term political solution. No further details on the plan’s contents or Israel’s specific objections were provided in the initial statement.
