Netanyahu Voices Objections to Gaza Management Committee

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has voiced objections to the composition of the executive committee for managing Gaza, announced by the Trump administration. Netanyahu believes the committee was not coordinated with Israel and that its composition contradicts Israeli policy. Particular reference is made to the presence of officials from Turkey and Qatar, countries that have strongly criticized the way Israel is conducting the war in Gaza. Netanyahu has instructed Foreign Minister Gideon Saar to officially express Israel's objections to his American counterpart, Marco Rubio.
