Gaza 'Board of Peace' official says plan is still operative

US President Donald Trump’s Gaza plan is still operative, and discussions with Israel are continuing, a “Board of Peace” official said on Monday after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected an Israeli withdrawal until Hamas is “genuinely disarmed.”

Netanyahu on Sunday restated his rejection of the Gaza ​plan in televised remarks to his right-wing government.

“The plan is very much still operative and advancing,” the official told Reuters.

“The process is based on implementation and verification on the ground. Discussions with Israel are continuing, and the framework is designed so that each stage only moves forward once the required commitments have been met,” the official said.
