Waziri Mkuu wa Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, amesisitiza tena kukataa mpango wa hivi karibuni wa Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump kuhusu Gaza, akisema Israel haitaukubali mpango huo kama ulivyo. Kauli hiyo aliitoa Jumapili Agosti 9, 2026, wakati akizungumza na mawaziri wa serikali yake, huku mashambulizi ya kijeshi ya Israel katika eneo la Gaza yakiwa yamepungua kwa kiasi kikubwa kutokana na shinikizo kutoka kwa Trump.
Mwezi uliopita, Trump alitangaza kuwa kumekuwa na hatua kubwa katika mpango wake wa kumaliza vita vya Gaza. Mpango huo, ambao Israel na Hamas walikubaliana, unatarajia wanajeshi wa Israel kuondoka Gaza huku Hamas ikikabidhi silaha zake. Aidha, Kikosi cha Kimataifa cha Kuweka Utulivu kikishirikiana na kikosi kipya cha polisi cha Palestina kingesimamia usalama katika eneo hilo.
Hata hivyo, changamoto zimeanza kujitokeza kwa haraka, hasa kuhusu muda na namna ya utekelezaji wa mpango huo.
Israel Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu============
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, even as Israel's military has effectively halted attacks in the territory under pressure from the U.S. President.
Netanyahu is struggling in the polls 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 toward ending the conflict there with a new 15-point roadmap.
Israel has scaled back attacks in Gaza since Monday, when Nikolay Mladenov, the Gaza envoy for Trump's Board of Peace that oversees the 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.
Mladenov said on Sunday that discussions on the new roadmap were ongoing.
But complications have swiftly emerged with questions over the plan's timeline.
"Israel does not accept the 15-point document," Netanyahu said at the start of a meeting with cabinet ministers. The military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed ... it means heavy weaponry, lighter weaponry, all weaponry.
Netanyahu made similar remarks in a social media post on Tuesday and Israeli officials have said reservations have been shared with Washington.

ISRAEL AND HAMAS DISAGREE OVER TIMINGS IN TRUMP'S PLAN
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 Stabilization Force working with a new Palestinian police force to secure the enclave.But complications have swiftly emerged with questions over the plan's timeline.
"Israel does not accept the 15-point document," Netanyahu said at the start of a meeting with cabinet ministers. The military "will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is disarmed ... it means heavy weaponry, lighter weaponry, all weaponry.
