Washington downplays Netanyahu's Gaza plan rejection
The United States downplays the significance of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's statements rejecting the Gaza plan, considering that his remarks fall within the realm of domestic electoral calculations and do not indicate a defiance of the understandings with Washington. While Netanyahu announced that he will not allow the Israeli army to withdraw before Hamas is fully disarmed, Washington emphasizes that it is monitoring the situation on the ground, and that its stance depends on Israel's commitment to implementing the agreements, particularly in halting attacks and disarming Hamas. Reports indicate that Israel is already scaling back its operations in the Gaza Strip, and there are two parallel tracks—one being a stern political discourse domestically, and the other involving practical arrangements with Washington. The White House has reaffirmed that its priority is what the Israeli military is doing, not Netanyahu's public statements.
