President Trump is hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to discuss a Gaza ceasefire plan.

More from The Jerusalem Post:

US President Donald Trump’s 21-point Gaza ceasefire plan has not been finalized yet, but Israel is working with Trump’s staff to advance the plan, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated in an interview with FOX News on Sunday.

“We are currently working with President Trump’s team on the 21-point agreement. We hope to successfully advance the deal,” he said.

Netanyahu and Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer met again on Sunday evening with US envoy Steve Witkoff and the president’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, to discuss Trump’s 21-point plan.

“Much of the discussion revolves around wording the plan,” a source familiar with the details told The Jerusalem Post.

“One of the challenges is how to state, on the one hand, that the Palestinian Authority will not be involved in governing Gaza – as Israel demands – while on the other hand, saying that it will be involved – as the Arab states are demanding.”
