Israel rejects Trump's peace plan for Gaza

TEL AVIV: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu restated his rejection of Donald Trump's latest Gaza plan in televised remarks to his right-wing government on Sunday. Netanyahu is in campaign mode as he seeks re-election at a vote due on October 27 but is caught between far-right ministers angered by concessions in Gaza and his key military backer, Trump, who wants progress towards ending the conflict there with a new 15-point peace plan.
Israel has scaled back attacks in Gaza since Monday, when Nikolay Mladenov, the Gaza envoy for Trump's ⁠Board of Peace that oversees the Gaza ceasefire, met with Netanyahu. A source familiar with Israel's position said it had agreed that the military would only act ⁠against what it perceives as immediate threats in Gaza and no longer carry out targeted assassinations as it had been doing on a near-daily basis.
Trump announced last month that there had been a breakthrough in his plan to end the war, to which both Israel and Hamas agreed, with Israeli forces withdrawing as Hamas disarms and an International ‌Stabilisation Force working with a new Palestinian police force to secure the enclave. — Reuters
