Sept. 29 (UPI) -- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to a 20-point U.S. plan to end the war with Hamas in Gaza as he met Monday with U.S. President Donald Trump for the fourth time in the White House this year.
During their head-to-head session, Netanyahu apologized to Qatar Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani for an Israeli strike on the nation on Sept. 9 that killed a Qatari security guard and several lower-level Hamas members. The three leaders spoke for several minutes on the phone.
The 20-point plan was revealed during the news conference. It was cut from 21 points after it was initially presented to Arab leaders in New York last week.
"I also want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for agreeing to the plan and for trusting that if we work together, we can bring an end to the death and destruction that we've seen for so many years, decades, even centuries, and begin a new chapter of security, peace and prosperity for the entire region," Trump said.
