United States President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, on Monday, announced a US-backed peace proposal aimed at ending the nearly two-year-old war in Gaza, warning Hamas that rejection of the plan would leave Israel with Washington’s full support to continue its military campaign. AdvertisementNetanyahu, standing alongside Trump, said, “I support your plan to end the war in Gaza, which achieves our war aims. “Hamas hasn’t yet received the plan officially, nothing beyond media publication,” a Hamas official told Reuters. Netanyahu praised Trump as “a friend of Israel” but carefully distanced himself from U.S. demands for PA reforms. Trump, who campaigned in 2024 on a promise to end the Gaza war, has repeatedly claimed that a deal was close, only for negotiations to collapse.
