Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has clarified Israel's position regarding the 'Board of Peace' proposal, explicitly stating that his government did not agree to the plan's terms for disarming Hamas. The statement comes following a period of silence from the Prime Minister’s office regarding the proposal, which reportedly includes provisions for an initial Israeli military pullback within the Gaza Strip.

Netanyahu’s remarks signal a clear divergence from the US-backed framework, which has been under discussion as a potential path toward de-escalation. By insisting that the IDF will remain in its current positions until Hamas is completely disarmed, the Prime Minister has effectively rejected the timeline for withdrawal suggested by the plan. This stance highlights a significant tension between the Israeli government’s security requirements and the international proposals aimed at ending the conflict. While the Prime Minister’s office has now gone on the record, the specific details of the 'Board of Peace' plan—and the extent to which it had been previously negotiated—remain a point of ambiguity in the public discourse. The insistence on maintaining current lines suggests that Israel is prioritizing the total dismantling of Hamas's military capabilities over the phased withdrawal strategies currently being advocated by international mediators.
