US President Donald Trump called it “potentially one of the great days ever in civilization” as he laid out his administration’s 20-point proposal for a comprehensive end to the war in Gaza.

US President Donald Trump voiced optimism on Monday (Sep 29) about the chances of securing a Gaza deal as he welcomed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House.

Though Mr Netanyahu praises Mr Trump as Israel’s closest ally, there are signs of Israeli scepticism over the proposal, as well as some reservations among Arab states.
