U.S. President Donald Trump has proposed a “new and revolutionary vision” for Gaza’s future, that will ensure it never again becomes a terrorist state, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Monday.

In a speech to the Knesset plenum, Netanyahu rejected the opposition’s call to return the Palestinian Authority to Gaza, condemning Ramallah for promoting hate and glorifying terrorists.

He reiterated his vision of a future for Gaza without either Hamas or the P.A., emphasizing that Trump’s plan was a creative solution that would not repeat the mistakes of the Oslo process.

“President Trump’s vision is new, creative and revolutionary—and he is determined to implement it. You spoke about ‘the day after’—well, now you have ‘the day after’!” said the Israeli premier. “It just does not align with the Oslo vision. Because we will not repeat that mistake again and again, as you have,” he continued.
