Lazar Berman is The Times of Israel's diplomatic reporter
After the Associated Press reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is examining a plan to give Palestinians a week to leave the northern third of the Gaza Strip before imposing a total siege, a top Netanyahu adviser tells The Times of Israel that the report is false.
Netanyahu’s spokesman Omer Dostri denies the report entirely, and calls it “fake news.”
