> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected on Sunday a US-led Gaza proposal backed by Hamas. The move puts greater distance between Netanyahu and President Donald Trump. He is trying to shore up his political base before closely contested elections. France 24 international affairs editor Philip Turle says Netanyahu is prepared to risk breaking with Trump over the 15-point Gaza peace deal. The aim, Turle says, is to win support from far-right members of Netanyahu’s coalition.
