Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel is currently working with US President Donald Trump’s administration to advance the American 21-point plan for ending the war in Gaza, in an interview with Fox News.

“We’re working on it,“ Netanyahu tells the network when asked about the plan, speaking from New York a day before his meeting with Trump at the White House tomorrow.

“It’s not been finalized yet, but we’re working with President Trump’s team, actually, as we speak,” he continues.

“I hope we can make it a go, because we want to free our hostages, we want to get rid of Hamas rule, and have them disarmed, Gaza demilitarized, and a new future set up for Gazans and Israelis alike, and for the whole region,” the premier says.
