FRANKFURT, Aug 10 (Reuters) – The German government regards ​U.S. President ‌Donald Trump’s latest Gaza plan as an opportunity to ‌make ​progress ⁠towards the disarmament ⁠of Hamas, a German foreign ministry spokesperson said ​on Monday.

Asked in a ⁠regular news ⁠conference about ​Israeli Prime Minister ​Benjamin Netanyahu’s rejection of ‌the plan, the spokesperson also said some ⁠disagreement was to be expected.

“With such a ⁠complex ‌undertaking, it ⁠was perfectly ​clear ‌there would be ​many, ⁠many unanswered questions,” he said.
