What happened
US allies are increasingly losing confidence in Washington’s ability to achieve peace in the Middle East after Israel rejected a peace plan for the Gaza Strip, Politico reported.
Why it matters
According to the media outlet, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s refusal to accept the Gaza plan also undermines confidence in the US-led Board of Peace.
Common ground
