British Foreign Secretary David Lammy said the 20-point peace plan proposed by the United States to end the war in Gaza is ‘achievable’, after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu in London. He said it was ‘encouraging’ that US President Donald Trump had announced that Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries supported the plan, which he described as a ‘good basis’. Lammy also said Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas had committed to reforming the authority and holding elections.
