Donald Trump today thanked Benjamin Netanyahu for 'agreeing to a peace plan' in Gaza.

The US President declared at a press conference at The White House it was a 'big day, a beautiful day' and 'potentially one of the greatest days ever in civilisation'.

Mr Trump unveiled his 20-point road map to end the Israel-Hamas war, which includes former UK Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair in a 'new international transitional body' to run Gaza on a temporary basis.

But in a dramatic moment, the US President then announced the proposed head of the board to rule over Gaza as himself.

He said a 'board of peace' would be 'headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J Trump of the United States.'
