United States President Donald Trump on Monday announced a 20-point plan to bring peace to Gaza , saying that “we are beyond very close” to ending the war in the territory, Al-Jazeera reported.

Speaking at a press conference with Israeli President Benjamin Netanyahu by his side, Trump said that Monday was a “historic day for peace”.

The US president said that while “everyone else has accepted” the proposal, if Palestinian militant group Hamas does not agree to it, Israel would have Washington’s backing “to do what you have to do”, Al-Jazeera reported.

Netanyahu said that he supported the proposal, as it would achieve Israel’s aims for the war.

However, a Hamas official, Mahmoud Mardawi, said that the group had not yet received the proposal in writing.
