Speaking at the start of a weekly cabinet meeting, Netanyahu stated that the <strong>Israel Defense Forces (IDF)<\/strong> would maintain their presence in the <strong>Gaza Strip<\/strong> until a total and verifiable disarmament of <strong>Hamas<\/strong> is achieved. This stance directly contradicts the proposed roadmap, which reportedly called for a phased Israeli withdrawal in exchange for security guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>The Prime Minister\u2019s declaration extended beyond immediate security concerns to the long-term political landscape of the region. Netanyahu explicitly vowed that <strong>no Palestinian state<\/strong> will be established as long as he remains in office, covering both <strong>Gaza<\/strong> and the <strong>West Bank<\/strong> (Judea and Samaria). He characterized potential Palestinian governance as either &quot;Fatahstan&quot; or &quot;Hamastan,&quot; asserting that Israel must retain security control to prevent future terror threats.<\/p>\n<p>This hardline position places Israel at odds with <strong>U.S. President Donald Trump<\/strong>, who had recently promoted the <strong>Board of Peace<\/strong> plan as a historic breakthrough. While <strong>Hamas<\/strong> had reportedly expressed readiness to proceed with the framework, Israeli officials have dismissed such claims as &quot;spin.&quot; Netanyahu confirmed that while Israel remains in dialogue with the <strong>United States<\/strong>, he is prepared to &quot;stand up&quot; against unacceptable terms that do not meet Israel&#39;s strict security requirements.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Board of Peace<\/strong>, an international body tasked with Gaza&#39;s reconstruction and stabilization, now faces a stalled process. The 15-point plan had envisioned the deployment of an <strong>International Stabilization Force (ISF)<\/strong> and the formation of a new Palestinian governing committee. However, with Netanyahu\u2019s latest &quot;red lines,&quot; the timeline for any Israeli troop pullback remains indefinitely suspended, likely increasing pressure on regional mediators including <strong>Egypt<\/strong>, <strong>Qatar<\/strong>, and <strong>Turkey<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially
