Jerusalem: (RightNow) Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announces decision to keep troops in Gaza. This move risks displeasing U.S. President Donald Trump.

Netanyahu stated in a cabinet meeting that Israel will not accept Trump’s 15-point plan. He clarified that troops will remain until Hamas fully disarms.

CNN reports that Netanyahu’s stance might anger Trump, who seeks success in the Gaza conflict and wants Hamas to surrender.

It is important to note that Israeli elections are approaching, and Netanyahu faces political challenges. He needs support from right-wing parties opposing the peace plan.

Remember, 2 million Gaza residents are affected by these political decisions. The lack of an agreement between Israel and Hamas leaves their future uncertain.
