> Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a US-led Gaza proposal that Hamas had endorsed. With closely fought elections ahead, he is seeking to shore up support among his political base while creating distance from President Donald Trump. France 24 international affairs editor Philip Turle said Netanyahu was prepared to risk a break with Trump over the 15-point Gaza peace deal in order to win backing from far-right members of his coalition. The dispute highlights the political pressure surrounding the plan.
