More European leaders welcome proposed Gaza peace plan

Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof has said that the “important news from Washington” on Monday, “hopefully”, means that an end to the war in Gaza is “truly in reach”. The prime minister said the proposal must be “a serious step towards … the two-state solution”, adding there could be no role for Hamas in that future. European Council President Antonio Costa also welcomed Trump’s plan, saying he was “encouraged” by Netanyahu’s “positive response”.
