00:00Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said there's nothing wrong
00:04with Trump's plans and claimed people who leave could come back. Tell us more.
00:10Yeah, Benjamin Netanyahu made those comments in a interview that he did with
00:15Fox News over in the United States talking about the idea of Gazans being
00:19allowed to leave the Strip if they wanted to. As you mentioned he said
00:23what's wrong with that. He also described President Trump's wider plan, wider
00:28vision for Gaza as a remarkable idea that he said should be examined. I think
00:35the big question as well that's on many people's lips is whether Benjamin
00:39Netanyahu knew that President Trump was going to unveil this plan, this vision
00:44for the future of Gaza during that extraordinary press conference at the
00:48White House in Washington. There are some reports that Benjamin Netanyahu was
00:52briefed by senior US officials the day before about this plan that the
00:57president had really wanted to put forward but also many observers have
01:02been pointing out that there was a little bit of surprise on Benjamin
01:05Netanyahu's face as he was watching President Trump deliver those marks from
01:10that podium at the White House.
