Netanyahu rejects parts of Gaza peace plan

Israel rejects the terms of a 15-point plan proposed by the Board of Peace for a settlement in Gaza, Report informs via Ynet.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said this at the opening of a Cabinet meeting.

The document was published as part of a roadmap for an agreement between Israel and Hamas, under which the group must be completely disarmed.

"The Israel Defense Forces will not withdraw troops until Hamas is disarmed. And when I say disarmed, I mean heavy weapons, less heavy weapons, all weapons. We are talking about real disarmament, not a sham one. We are discussing this issue with the Americans. They have ideas, some of which are acceptable to us and some are not," Netanyahu said.
