Netanyahu's rejection of the Board of Peace roadmap is a political maneuver, not a security imperative — a verified disarmament mechanism already exists and Hamas has endorsed it. Blocking it while conflating weapons policy with Palestinian statehood keeps the war open indefinitely, benefiting Netanyahu politically ahead of elections. Real security means accepting the framework built to deliver it, not moving goalposts.
Israel's refusal of the 15-point document is a principled stand — genuine, verified disarmament of Hamas must come before any IDF withdrawal, and symbolic gestures won't cut it. Netanyahu has already proven Israel acts on security, from Rafah to Lebanon to striking Iran twice. Holding the line against pressure, even from allies, is exactly what protecting Israeli citizens demands.
