The Israeli Prime Minister publicly rejected the 15 point peace plan for Gaza led by the United States, and the White House expressed its full understanding of its practical demands at the election level. The subtle game between the United States and Israel has caused a stir in the Middle East peace situation.

Senior US officials have stated that the White House is aware that Netanyahu's veto of the plan was due to political considerations during the election cycle, and as long as Israel continues to restrain military strikes in the Gaza Strip, the US will not object to it. Previously, Netanyahu had spoken with Kushner, expressing willingness to try to advance the 15 point plan and promising to constrain military action to help demilitarize Gaza.

Netanyahu clearly set a bottom line at the cabinet meeting, insisting that the Israeli army will only withdraw from Gaza after Hamas completes substantial disarmament, while overturning the previous decision to partially withdraw from Gaza. The 15 point plan released by the United States at the end of July, which calls for comprehensive disarmament of Gaza's armed forces and phased withdrawal of Israel, has now been stalled due to Israel's tough stance, leading to a stalemate in the new round of peace negotiations in the Middle East.Editor/Min Jing
