Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a video statement on Tuesday explicitly denying that Israel had consented to a US-backed peace plan for the Gaza Strip. This statement directly contradicts claims made by US President Donald Trump just days prior.

Last Thursday, President Trump announced what he characterized as a "major milestone" regarding the conflict. According to the President's announcement, the agreement reached in October included specific provisions for the disarmament of Hamas and a multi-phase withdrawal of Israeli military forces from the region. However, Netanyahu’s recent social media address serves as a formal rejection of the notion that Israel is a party to such an agreement.

There is a clear discrepancy between the White House's characterization of the peace process and the Israeli government's current position. While the US administration framed the October discussions as a finalized roadmap for peace, Netanyahu’s comments suggest that the Israeli government does not view itself as bound by these terms. The conflicting narratives leave the status of the US-led initiative in significant doubt, as the primary regional actor involved has now publicly distanced itself from the proposal.
