US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they had agreed a new peace plan for Gaza, warning Hamas to accept it. Speaking at a news conference following talks at the White House, Trump called the plan “a historic day for peace”. But he said that Netanyahu will have US backing to “finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas” if Hamas does not agree to the plan. Under Trump’s plan, Hamas would lay down its arms and its tunnels and weapon production facilities would be destroyed. Much of the plan is focused on what the US calls an “economic development plan” to rebuild Gaza.
