Israel has rejected the Trump-brokered Gaza plan, a public humiliation for Trump and a grim sign for Gaza and wider Middle East peace hopes.

• Netanyahu rejected the 15-point US plan that would have had Hamas disarm in stages while Israel withdrew from Gaza.
• Hamas said it still backs the deal, leaving Israel as the side that walked away.
• Even Netanyahu's main rival, Eisenkot, opposes any withdrawal — the whole Israeli political spectrum wants to stay in Gaza.
• Killing in Gaza has ramped up during the ceasefire, with strikes hitting civilians and even a medical supply tent.
• The collapse strengthens Iran's hand, which now wants Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq included in any future talks.

Outlook: With Netanyahu facing elections and Trump losing interest, the deal looks dead and the fighting is likely to keep escalating.
