US President Trump calls for Israel to stop attacking Gaza, leading to disagreements between US and Israeli leaders

US President Trump stated that Israel should not attack targets in the Gaza Strip, and Trump instructed Kushner to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on Monday to promote the plan to disarm Hamas. Netanyahu rejected Trump's proposed phased disarmament plan for Hamas last week, and Israel resumed attacks on Palestinian militants after a brief pause. Trump said in an interview with Fox News that Israel should not have launched these attacks because Hamas has agreed to lay down its weapons.
