French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot said the 21-point Gaza plan unveiled this week by US President Donald Trump can progress only if Arab states sign it. Speaking at Harvard University’s Belfer Centre, Mr Barrot said the plan has been in the works for months and draws on input from European allies. “President Trump has asked some of his close advisers to go to the Arab countries, to go to France, to go to the UK, to gather all the ideas that all of us have been putting together for months and years for what a day-after [the Gaza war] plan would look like,” he said.
