Netanyahu rejects US peace proposal

He says they won't leave until Hamas is completely disarmed, but there is no clear mechanism for that in a city. Who actually collects the weapons and verifies the count on the ground?
The term "completely disarmed" is a political condition, not a military metric. It allows the government to extend the timeline indefinitely regardless of the actual weapon count.
This mirrors the impasse seen in previous urban insurgencies where the demand for total disarmament served as a pretext for permanent occupation. The logistical failure of such demands usually leads to a long-term security vacuum.
timing this with the hormuz tension suggests a broader realignment of us leverage in the region.
This makes so much sense... especially if you look at his current coalition's polling numbers... he can't afford to look soft to the far-right base right now!
If we assume the alignment was tactical, could this public rejection be a negotiation tactic to force a more favorable version of the 15-point plan?
