ISRAEL moved today to scrap the existing ceasefire deal in Gaza and replace it with what it described as a new United States ceasefire plan.

Tel Aviv is trying to force the new plan on Hamas by imposing a siege on the Gaza Strip.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu referred to the new plan as the Witkoff proposal, saying it came from US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff.
