Germany says Trump Gaza plan could lead to Hamas disarmament
Germany is a country in Europe.
Germany's government said it likes a new plan about a place called Gaza.
The plan was made by Donald Trump, the President of the United States.
Germany thinks the plan could help make a group called Hamas give up its weapons.
Giving up weapons is called disarmament.
Israel's leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, does not like the plan and said no to it.
He is called the Prime Minister of Israel.
Germany said it is normal for people to disagree about big plans.
The German government shared this idea at a news conference on Monday.
The German government regards U.S. President Donald Trump's latest Gaza plan as an opportunity for progress toward the disarmament of Hamas.
A German foreign ministry spokesperson made the remarks at a regular news conference on Monday.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected the plan.
The spokesperson said some disagreement over the plan was to be expected.
The Reuters report was filed from Frankfurt on Aug 10.
