What’s good for Israel and its Arab neighbours could be the end of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. US President Donald Trump’s peace proposal for Gaza, on the eve of the US government shutdown, left Netanyahu with little choice at the White House on September 29 but to nod along. Trump has given Hamas a “three-to-four day” deadline, else it will be “a very sad end”. With an immediate end to hostilities, the deal also proposes the release of the remaining Israeli hostages as well as detained Palestinians.
