US President secures Isarel’s agreement to Gaza deal but Hamas support in question

The document also outlines a staged Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, Hamas disarmament and a transitional government led by an international body.

United States (US) President, Donald Trump went into Monday’s meeting seeking to overcome Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s misgivings over parts of the plan. It was not immediately clear whether the Trump administration and Israel had resolved all their differences, including over the possibility of a future Palestinian State, which Netanyahu has forcefully rejected, and any role for the Palestinian Authority in post-war governance of the enclave.

Trump thanked Netanyahu “for agreeing to the plan and for trusting that if we work together, we can bring an end to the death and destruction that we’ve seen for so many years, decades, even centuries.”
