US Proposed Gaza Peace Agreement Faces Obstacles

The U.S. announced a historic peace agreement aimed at disarming Hamas and withdrawing Israeli troops from the Gaza Strip. However, the plan faces immediate hurdles as both Israel and Hamas present contradictory preconditions and lack mutual trust, leading experts to question the viability of the U.S.-led diplomatic effort.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel rejected a draft Gaza peace agreement proposed by US President Donald Trump's team and submitted its own comments. Israeli officials, including Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, have maintained that troops will not withdraw from the Gaza Strip until Hamas is completely disarmed.
