United States President Donald Trump secured Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's backing for a wide-ranging Gaza peace plan after meeting in Washington on Monday. Met with enthusiasm from key Arab nations and European Union leaders, the proposal to end the war has yet to be approved by Hamas.
The 20-point plan calls for a ceasefire and the release of hostages by Hamas within 72 hours, as well as a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. Hamas still holds 48 Israeli hostages – 20 of whom are believed by Israel to be alive.
