Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally accepted Trump’s Gaza peace framework, while making clear that Israel will not compromise its security. Speaking after the White House press conference, Netanyahu emphasized that any Israeli withdrawal will be linked to Hamas’s full disarmament.
He underscored that Israel will remain in control of key security perimeters “for the foreseeable future,” ensuring Hamas cannot rebuild. Netanyahu also welcomed Trump’s mediation with Qatar, framing it as a step toward regional cooperation without sacrificing Israeli deterrence.
For Israelis, the message is clear: Israel is ready for peace, but only on terms that guarantee safety. With Trump’s support and regional alignment, Israel enters this next phase from a position of strength—not weakness.
