White House releases Gaza peace plan as Trump meets Netanyahu

In a move that it likely to end the two-year old war in Gaza, the White House on Monday released a peace plan as US President Donald Trump met Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The peace plan includes the release of Israeli hostages, the terms for the surrender of Hamas, the formation of a apolitical committee to temporarily govern Palestinian territories and a plan for the humanitarian aid to Gaza. There has been no immediate reports of the acceptance of peace proposal from either Israel or Hamas.
