US President Donald Trump today thanked Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for agreeing to his 21-point plan for Gaza, then issued a warning to the Palestinian group Hamas that Israel will have the United States’ “full backing” to destroy the militant group if they rejected the deal.
“Israel would have my full backing to finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas but I hope that we’re going to have a deal for peace and if Hamas rejects the deal, which is always possible, they’re the only one left. Everyone else has accepted it but I have a feeling that we’re going to have a positive answer,” Trump said, speaking alongside Netanyahu at the White House.
The US President said that Washington was “very close” to securing peace in the Gaza war, after meeting with Netanyahu and releasing a 20-point peace plan.
“Things that have been going on for hundreds of years and thousands of years we’re going to, at least we’re at a minimum very, very close and I think we’re beyond very close and I want to thank Bibi for really getting in there and doing a job,” he told reporters, referring to Netanyahu by a nickname.
