It will be Netanyahu's fourth visit to the White House since Trump returned to office in January




US President Donald Trump will push a new peace plan to end the Israel-Gaza war during White House talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.

Trump has talked up prospects of reaching an agreement, telling journalists on Friday: "I think we have a deal".

But Netanyahu said on Sunday "it's not been finalised yet", while Hamas said they had not formally been sent the proposal.

According to leaked copies of the plan published by US and Israeli media, it stipulates the release of all hostages within 48 hours of the deal being confirmed. Once they are returned, Israel will free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences.

Hamas members who commit to peace will be offered amnesty and safe passage out of Gaza - and the group will have no future role in the territory. All Hamas military structures will be destroyed.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will gradually withdraw from the Strip and Gaza will be governed by an interim transitional government.

The plan appears to constitute a significant shift of position by the Trump administration, which has previously advocated relocating Gaza's entire population of 2.1million and redeveloping Gaza into a US-owned "riviera".
