Netanyahu Rejects Gaza Plan in New Break from Trump Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the US led Gaza plan, a significant blow to President Donald Trump's Middle East legacy.
The decision, announced on Sunday, marks another break from Trump's administration, which had endorsed the deal despite its unpopularity with Netanyahu's right wing base.
The Gaza plan was met with skepticism by many in Israel, who consistently opposed any form of withdrawal from Gaza in polls. Far right members of Netanyahu's cabinet had been urging him to reject the deal outright.
