Israel's Prime Minister says he supports the US "20-point plan" and apologizes to Qatar for air strikes

After meeting with U.S. President Trump on September 29, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu said he supported the "20-point plan" proposed by the U.S. to end the conflict in Gaza. Egypt, Jordan and other countries welcomed the plan.

At a joint press conference after the talks, Trump outlined the “20-point plan” proposed by the US.

Netanyahu said at a press conference that he supports the plan, which achieves Israel's war goals and "will return all hostages to Israel, destroy Hamas's military capabilities, end its political rule and ensure that the Gaza Strip will never pose a threat to Israel again."

Several foreign media outlets noted that the plan proposed the establishment of a non-political, technical and bureaucratic transitional governance body consisting of Palestinians and international experts, the Peace Commission, Trump will be the chairman of the agency and former British Prime Minister Blair will play a role in it.

The Times of Israel reported that the "20-point plan" is slightly different from the "21-point plan" previously introduced by the United States to Arab countries. After text comparison, the deleted content is that Israel agrees not to launch attacks on Qatar in the future, and the United States and the international community recognize Doha as playing an important mediation role.

Netanyahuly spoke to Muhammad during talks with Trump to apologize for the air strike in Doha.

According to a statement issued by the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office on the evening of the 29th, Netanyahu apologized to Muhammad and assured that the Israeli airstrikes targeted Hamas, not Qataris.

Qatar's Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement on the same day, confirming Netanyahu's apology for violating Qatar's sovereignty and promising not to launch any attacks against Qatar's territory in the future. The statement stressed that Qatar resolutely rejects any violation of its sovereignty under any circumstances. Qatar will continue its efforts to end the fighting in the Gaza Strip.

Qatar and Egypt submitted the U.S. “20-point plan” to Hamas late on the night of the 29th.

The foreign ministers of Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Indonesia and Pakistan issued a joint statement welcoming the plans put forward by the United States and expressing their willingness to cooperate with the United States "by ending the war in Gaza through a comprehensive agreement."
