According to CoinMeta and The Wall Street Journal, U.S. President Donald Trump stated that Israel should not attack targets in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, his special envoy Jared Kushner met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday in an attempt to salvage a plan aimed at disarming Hamas and ending the Gaza conflict. As close allies, it is rare for leaders of the United States and Israel to publicly disagree. Last week, Netanyahu rejected Trump's proposal for Hamas to disarm in phases. After a brief pause, Israel resumed attacks on Palestinian militants almost daily. In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Trump said that Israel should not carry out these attacks, as Hamas had agreed to lay down its weapons.
