Netanyahu says Trump's new Gaza plan is unacceptable

13 Sept 11:07 Key points summarised by AI

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly rejected Donald Trump's 15-point Gaza peace plan, stating Israel would not withdraw from the territory until Hamas is fully disarmed of all weaponry.
Significant disagreements persist between Israel and Hamas regarding the plan's timeline and the definition of 'disarmament,' with Hamas agreeing to hand over weapons to a technocrat administration rather than disarm entirely.
Netanyahu faces internal political pressure from his far-right ministers, who oppose concessions, and external pressure from the U.S. to advance peace, influencing his firm stance ahead of his re-election bid.
Following U.S. pressure and diplomatic discussions, Israel has scaled back its military operations in Gaza, agreeing to act only against immediate threats and halting targeted assassinations.

Key strategies include auditing suspect land and building holdings, establishing a long-term monitoring system, and cross-referencing data from various authorities to trace ultimate beneficial owners.
Prime Minister Anutin emphasized that no influential figures or corrupt officials are above the law, promising straightforward prosecution, asset seizures, and protection for enforcing officers.
Beyond land ownership, the integrated crackdown will also extend to tackle transnational crimes, including drug and human trafficking.
