Asharq: Trump urged steps on Gaza plan

Asharq News reported on Nov. 8, citing Axios and two sources familiar with the matter, that Donald Trump asked Benjamin Netanyahu in a Thursday phone call to take steps to implement his Gaza plan after Israel’s election. The report says the roadmap includes disarming Hamas and transferring administration of the Strip to a Palestinian technocratic government, and that implementation requires cooperation among the parties. Separately, Saudi Arabia’s position was set out by the Foreign Ministry in a statement carried by the Saudi Press Agency on July 31: the Kingdom reaffirmed its commitment to full implementation of the comprehensive peace plan under UN Security Council Resolution 2803. It stressed full Israeli withdrawal, continued humanitarian aid and reconstruction, the Palestinian Authority’s return to Gaza, preservation of Palestinian territorial unity, and the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and an independent state.
