Trump assures Arab Leaders: Israel won't start war

US President Donald Trump gave assurances to Arab leaders that Israel would abandon its militaristic aspirations once a peace agreement is reached in the Gaza Strip, the Financial Times (FT) reports.

"Trump personally guaranteed Arab leaders that Israel will not start a war",

the Financial Times reported.

Despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's efforts to secure support for resuming military action if Hamas violated the terms of the agreement, but the US leader resisted the Israeli requests and called for an end to "looking for loopholes".
