The plan leaves the door open to a future Palestinian state but does not indicate whether the US will recognize it. At a White House press conference, Trump warned that unless Hamas accepts the plan, he will give Israel the green light to continue its ground operation in Gaza. Netanyahu endorsed the plan, but also warned that Israel would “finish the job” of eradicating Hamas militarily if the group refuses. The announcement comes as Israel continues its bombardment of Gaza, while international bodies and hostage families have intensified calls for a settlement. Earlier this month, a UN commission accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, where more than 65,000 Palestinians have been killed.
