Special Q&A: [56 minutes] Israeli PM also vows no Palestinian state in Gaza or West Bank while he is in office. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday firmly rejected a 15-point plan for Gaza put forward by President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, declaring that the Israeli military will not make “any withdrawal” from Palestinian territory until Hamas is completely and genuinely disarmed. Speaking at a cabinet meeting, Netanyahu made Israel's position crystal clear: "Israel rejects the 15-point Gaza document proposed by the Board of Peace. The IDF will not carry out any withdrawal until Hamas is genuinely disarmed." He stressed that any disarmament must be real—covering heavy weapons, lighter weapons and all weapons—not a “fictitious” arrangement. Israeli forces will continue to act against threats to soldiers and civilians, he added. Netanyahu went further on the question of a future Palestinian state, stating: "As long as I am prime minister, there will be no Palestinian state, not in Gaza and not in Judea and Samaria. Trump's Board of Peace announced the 15-point framework late last month... Under the proposal, Hamas would hand over its weapons in stages to a new Palestinian administration. In exchange, Israel would gradually withdraw from the large portions of Gaza it still controls. An international force and new Palestinian police were envisioned to help provide security... Hamas had signaled acceptance of the roadmap. Netanyahu's outright rejection marks a significant public difference with the White House... with the Israeli prime minister insisting that full disarmament must come first, before any Israeli pullback. https://gatewayhispanic.com/2026/08/netanyahu-rejects-trumps-board-peace-15-point-gaza/ Israel Was Just Directly Threatened By A Nuclear-Armed Islamic Nation—And It’s Not Iran: Iran’s nuclear weapons program has been mostly obliterated by the U.S. and Israeli militaries over the past 14 months—thanks to the bold leadership of President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Pakistan, however, currently possesses approximately 170 nuclear warheads. It’s the only Islamic nation that has the bomb, and over the weekend, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif made some very disturbing comments about the world’s one and only Jewish state. Asif called Israel an “illegitimate state” and “a threat to the entire Muslim world.” He demanded all Islamic nations unite militarily against Israel, especially over the Palestinian issue. Again, this is the Defense Minister for a nuclear-armed Islamic nation! His comments came as a new defense pact was announced between Pakistan, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia. No matter how you look at it, this is a serious alliance, and the U.S. and Israel are no doubt taking notice. Pakistan has the bomb, Saudi Arabia has vast economic resources, and Turkey is a NATO member nation. According to the reported parameters of this agreement, the next time the Saudis come under attack (from, say, Iran or the Houthis), Turkey and Pakistan would be obligated by the pact to come to their aid. In other words, the world’s most volatile and strategic region just got even more complex. These are dangerous times.
