The rejection of the US-backed 15-point Gaza peace plan by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is more than another disagreement between Washington and Tel Aviv. It is a warning that the Middle East cannot achieve lasting stability while the Palestinian question remains unresolved.
Netanyahu has declared that Israel will not withdraw from Gaza, rejecting the peace plan’s proposed sequence of disarmament, Israeli withdrawal, and a transition toward Palestinian governance. He further expressed that there will be no state of Palestine in his lifetime. His public rebuke of Washington is particularly significant because President Donald Trump has sought to present himself as a peacemaker capable of ending the region’s interconnected wars.
The deeper problem, however, predates the current Gaza war by decades. The Palestinian question has remained at the heart of the Arab-Israeli conflict since the establishment of Israel in 1948 amid the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. Subsequent wars, occupation, settlement expansion and the unresolved status of Jerusalem have continued to fuel resentment and instability.
The United Nations has repeatedly attempted to establish a framework for resolving the conflict. Security Council resolutions 242 and 338 established the principles of withdrawal and “land for peace”, while Resolution 2334 explicitly declared Israeli settlements in territory occupied since 1967 to have no legal validity and demanded that settlement activity cease. The UN continues to regard the Palestinian question as central to achieving comprehensive peace in the Middle East.
Yet the gap between international resolutions and political reality remains enormous. Settlement expansion, land confiscation, demolitions, and displacement have continued to undermine the territorial basis for Palestinian self-determination. In its latest reporting, the UN again described settlement activity as a major obstacle to a just and lasting peace.
The humanitarian consequences have been devastating. Gaza has endured extensive destruction, civilian deaths, displacement, and severe restrictions on humanitarian assistance. The UN humanitarian system has warned repeatedly about catastrophic conditions, including famine and acute humanitarian needs. Whatever political arguments are made about Hamas and Israel’s security, international humanitarian law requires the protection of civilians and the provision of essential assistance.
This does not absolve Hamas or any other armed group of responsibility for attacks against civilians. A sustainable peace requires the rejection of violence against civilians by all parties. But security cannot become a permanent substitute for a political settlement, nor can the disarmament of one side be treated as sufficient while the underlying political grievances remain unresolved.
Netanyahu’s rejection also exposes a difficult question for Washington: how much influence is the United States prepared to exercise over its closest Middle Eastern ally? Trump now faces a choice between accepting an Israeli veto over his diplomatic initiative and using American leverage to demand genuine movement toward a political settlement. The rejection has already complicated his ambition to portray himself as the broker of regional peace. Trump’s dream for the Nobel Peace Prize is uncertain.
The international community should therefore return to the principles already established through the United Nations: an end to occupation, cessation of settlement expansion, protection of civilians, Palestinian self-determination, and an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel within agreed and internationally recognized borders. The UN General Assembly continues to endorse a two-state solution based on the pre-1967 borders and calls for an end to the occupation that began in 1967.
The lesson is straightforward. Peace cannot be built by repeatedly postponing the Palestinian question. Nor can military force permanently substitute for political legitimacy.
If the international community wants to prevent another cycle of war, it must move beyond statements of concern and insist that international law and UN resolutions have practical consequences. Palestinians deserve freedom, security, dignity, and self-determination; Israelis deserve security and recognition. Neither can be achieved permanently at the expense of the other.
Netanyahu’s rejection of the Gaza plan should therefore be treated not merely as a setback for one American initiative, but as another reminder of the central truth of Middle Eastern diplomacy: without a credible, enforceable, and just settlement of the Palestinian question, ceasefires will remain temporary and instability will continue to return.
内塔尼亚胡拒绝加沙特朗普的和平计划的后果。
以色列总理本雅明·内塔尼亚胡拒绝美国支持的15点加沙和平计划，远不止是华盛顿与特拉维夫之间又一次分歧。这更是一种警示：只要巴勒斯坦问题悬而未决，中东地区就无法实现持久稳定。
内塔尼亚胡宣称，以色列不会从加沙撤军，并否决了和平计划中提出的解除武装、以色列撤军以及向巴勒斯坦治理过渡的步骤。他进一步表示，在他有生之年不会建立巴勒斯坦国。他对华盛顿的公开谴责尤其重要，因为唐纳德·特朗普总统一直试图以“和平缔造者”的形象示人，声称自己有能力终结该地区的连环战争。
然而，这一深层问题早在当前加沙战争爆发数十年前便已存在。自1948年以色列建国以来，巴勒斯坦问题始终是阿以冲突的核心，期间数十万巴勒斯坦人流离失所。此后不断发生的战争、占领、定居点扩张以及耶路撒冷地位的未定，持续加剧了民众的怨恨情绪和不稳定局势。联合国曾多次试图建立解决冲突的框架。安理会第242号和第338号决议确立了撤军和“土地换和平”的原则，而第2334号决议则明确宣布1967年以来被占领土上的以色列定居点在法律上无效，并要求停止定居活动。联合国仍视巴勒斯坦问题为实现中东全面和平的核心。
然而，国际决议与现实政治之间的差距依然巨大。定居点扩张、土地没收、拆除和人口流离失所持续削弱着巴勒斯坦自决的领土基础。联合国最新报告再次将定居活动描述为实现公正持久和平的重大障碍。
人道主义后果极为严重。加沙遭受了大规模破坏，平民死亡、流离失所以及人道援助受到严重限制。联合国人道系统已多次警告，当地面临饥荒和严峻的人道危机。无论对哈马斯与以色列安全问题提出何种政治论点，国际人道法都要求保护平民并提供必要的援助。
这并不免除哈马斯或其他任何武装组织对平民发动攻击的责任。可持续的和平需要各方共同杜绝针对平民的暴力行为。但安全不能成为政治解决的永久替代品，也不能仅凭单方面解除武装就认为足够，而当根本的政治不满尚未解决时，这种做法同样不可取。
内塔尼亚胡的拒绝也暴露了华盛顿面临的一个棘手问题：美国愿意对最亲密的中东盟友施加多大影响？特朗普现在必须在以下两种选择之间做出抉择：要么接受以色列对其外交倡议行使否决权，要么利用美国的影响力，要求其真正推动政治和解进程。这一决定已使他试图展现自己为地区和平调解者的野心变得更加复杂。特朗普对诺贝尔和平奖的梦想如今变得不确定。因此，国际社会应回归联合国已确立的原则：结束占领、停止定居点扩张、保护平民、实现巴勒斯坦的自决权，并在经双方同意且得到国际承认的边界内，与以色列共同建立一个独立的巴勒斯坦国。联合国大会继续支持基于1967年以前边界的两国方案，并呼吁结束始于1967年的占领。
教训十分明确：和平不能通过不断推迟巴勒斯坦问题而建立；军事力量也不能永久取代政治合法性。
如果国际社会希望避免再次爆发战争，就必须超越空泛的关切声明，坚持要求国际法和联合国决议必须产生实际效果。巴勒斯坦人值得自由、安全、尊严和自决权；以色列人则值得安全与承认。这两者都无法以牺牲对方为代价而永久实现。因此，内塔尼亚胡拒绝加沙计划不应仅仅被视为一项美国倡议的挫折，而应再次提醒我们中东外交的核心真理：如果没有一个可信、可执行且公正的巴勒斯坦问题解决方案，停火协议将只是暂时性的，不稳定局势也将持续不断。
