Trump presses Netanyahu

U.S. President Donald Trump pressed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during a phone call on Thursday to take practical steps to implement the Gaza peace plan after the Israeli elections held on October 27, regardless of the shape of the next government. The plan includes disarming Hamas, transferring administration of the territory to a technocratic Palestinian government, and establishing an international stabilization force. Washington, meanwhile, is requiring progress on disarmament before reconstruction can begin, amid Netanyahu’s doubts about Hamas’s commitment. The initial recovery plan, unveiled by the Board of Peace, includes 66 projects to be carried out over six months at a cost of $2.45 billion. Jared Kushner and Tony Blair also urged Israeli leaders to give the plan a chance to be implemented.
