Following the recent US strike on Iran, US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reportedly held a phone conversation in which they agreed to swiftly end the war in Gaza, a section of the media reported, citing a source familiar with the call.
According to the report, the two leaders agreed that the conflict in Gaza should conclude within two weeks. Under the proposed plan, governance of the Gaza Strip would shift to a coalition of four Arab nations.
The reported late-night call also included US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Israeli Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer. The tone of the conversation was described as "euphoric."
The plan also reportedly envisions allowing Gazans who wish to emigrate to settle in various unnamed countries.
Furthermore, diplomatic normalization between Israel and additional Arab and Muslim nations.
In return, Israel would express conditional support for a future two-state solution, dependent on internal reforms within the Palestinian Authority (PA). This ambitious plan may shed light on Trump's frustration earlier this week over Israel's retaliatory actions against Iran, which he viewed as jeopardizing a fragile ceasefire.
He also made headlines with a social media post calling for an end to Netanyahu’s ongoing corruption trial.
The US-brokered Israel-Iran ceasefire announced by Trump raised hopes among Palestinians of an end to over 20 months of war in Gaza that has widely demolished the territory and displaced most residents, with malnutrition widespread.
