What happened
At a cabinet meeting, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the army would make 'no withdrawal until Hamas is truly disarmed,' effectively rejecting the plan.
Why it matters
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the latest US roadmap accepted by Hamas to launch the second phase of the Gaza peace plan, taking fresh distance from President Donald Trump as he faces razor-tight elections.
Common ground
After more than a week of gradually escalating criticism of the plan, Netanyahu explicitly opposed it in the face of pushback from his right-wing base.
