WASHINGTON, Aug 10 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan is still operative and discussions with Israel are continuing, a Board of Peace official said on Monday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected an Israeli withdrawal until the Palestinian militant group Hamas is “genuinely disarmed.”
Netanyahu on Sunday restated his rejection of the Gaza plan in televised remarks to his right-wing government. The move came even as Israel’s military has effectively halted attacks in the territory under U.S. pressure.
