00:00Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a U.S. roadmap for the second
00:05phase of the Gaza peace plan, which militant group Hamas had already accepted.
00:09Following pushback from his far-right allies in the government and despite assurances Israel
00:14would not need to withdraw immediately, Netanyahu rejected the 15-point document presented by
00:20Trump's Board of Peace at the end of last month.
00:23He insisted that any withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza was conditional on Hamas
00:29being genuinely disarmed.
00:31The rejection came after Hamas announced its support for the plan and called on the United
00:36States to pressure Netanyahu not to obstruct the process for political and electoral reasons.
00:42The dispute presented a break from Trump by Netanyahu after the two also diverged over
00:47how to proceed with the war they started against Iran.
00:52Netanyahu faces pressure from his right-wing voters to reject the plan, which comes ahead
00:56of elections in October, where he is running even or trading in some polls.
