"Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Security Cabinet, has slammed US President Donald Trump's new peace plan, calling it "a resounding diplomatic failure." In an extensive post on X, Smotrich referenced the 2023 Hamas-led attacks that sparked the current war in Gaza, accusing Trump and Netanyahu of "turning our backs on all the lessons of October 7." He blasted the plan as "a tragedy of leadership fleeing from the truth." "In my estimation, it will also end in tears. Our children will be forced to fight in Gaza again," said Smotrich, the leader of the hardline, ultra-nationalist National Religious Party-Religious Zionism."
"Leaders from Arab and Muslim nations and Europe have welcomed the peace plan unveiled by Trump and Netanyahu, who have warned Hamas to accept the deal or Israel will 'finish the job' in Gaza."
"Over 66,000 people have been killed in Gaza in less than two years, Gaza's Health Ministry's says"
