00:00During a press conference held at the White House on Monday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin
00:06Netanyahu stated that he supported President Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza.
00:12Both leaders added that it was now up to Hamas to agree.
00:17The big picture, the plan the White House released on Monday includes a step-by-step
00:22process for ending the war and governing Gaza into the future.
00:27Initially with Trump chairing a peace board for the enclave.
00:32If Hamas rejects the deal, BBU will have our full backing to do what you have to do.
00:38Netanyahu, according to Trump, understands it's time to end the war.
00:44We have to get Hamas, but I think we're going to be able to do that, Trump said, calling
00:50on Arab and Muslim leaders to help get the deal across the line.
00:55Trump spoke for nearly a half hour before turning to Netanyahu to speak.
01:01Netanyahu stated, I support your plan to end the war in Gaza, which achieves our war goals.
01:09They did not take questions.
01:11A new version of the White House's peace plan, which was made public on Monday, mentions a
01:17technocratic Palestinian government that will be run by a Board of Peace, led by Trump and
01:24made up of former UK officials.
01:27Tony Blair is the Prime Minister.
01:30Longer term, the plan envisions the Palestinian Authority taking control of Gaza and leaves
01:36open the possibility of a Palestinian state.
01:40Netanyahu had been clear about his opposition to a Palestinian state, Trump said during the
01:47press conference.
01:49Over the past few days, Arab nations and Israel have been requesting changes to the text, with
01:55sticking points like Hamas demilitarization and the PA's involvement in future Gaza governance.
02:02It's not clear whether those negotiations have actually concluded or whether what Netanyahu
02:09thinks he agreed to fully matches what the Arab states support, let alone Hamas.
02:14He stated, we will finish the job in the event that Hamas does not accept the agreement or
02:22fails to implement it.
02:23Netanyahu's remarks seemed intended in large part at appeasing his own domestic audience,
02:31particularly hardliners in his coalition.
02:34It calls on Israeli forces to withdraw to the agreed-upon line, with the remaining hostages
02:41then released within 72 hours.
02:45Israel would also release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in its custody.
02:51The outline states that, Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence and to decommission
02:57their weapons will be given amnesty and may leave Gaza if they so choose.
03:03Hamas would have no role in governing the enclave.
03:07There would be a process of demilitarization in Gaza and the UDAS would work with Arab and
03:14international partners to develop a temporary international security force, per the outline.
03:22The United Nations aid to Gaza will be significantly increased.
03:27Additionally, the Trump economic development plan for Gaza is mentioned in the outline.
03:35During his meeting with Trump on Monday, Netanyahu called Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman
03:42al-Thani and apologized for violating Qatari sovereignty in Israel's recent strike on Doha.
03:50Qatari mediation with Hamas was contingent on Israel offering an apology for the strike.
03:57Trump held a call with the Emir of Qatar before Netanyahu's arrival at the White House.
04:03U.S. officials claim Trump was prepared to publicly break with Netanyahu over Gaza if he didn't
04:10endorse the plan.
04:11He didn't endorse the plan.
