A far-right Israeli coalition partner accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of trying to “whitewash” a deal to wind down the Gaza war that is being advanced by US President Joe Biden, and repeated a threat to quit the government, Reuters reports.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir told his parliamentary faction that Netanyahu invited him to read the proposal but the premier’s aides twice failed to produce the document. Any plan must entail toppling Hamas, Ben-Gvir said.
