And late the same night,0:09Iranian-backed Houthi rebels struck0:11critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia.0:13The American proposal would have traded0:15Hamas disarmament for an Israeli0:16withdrawal from Gaza. At a cabinet0:19meeting in Jerusalem on Sunday,0:20Netanyahu said [music] Israel rejects0:22the document and Israeli forces will not0:24withdraw until there is genuine0:25disarmament, not fictitious [music]0:27disarmament.
