Boston Consulting Group modelled the costs of “relocating” Palestinians from Gaza and entered into a multimillion-dollar contract to help launch a new aid scheme for the shattered enclave, a Financial Times investigation has found.

President Donald Trump said on Friday morning that expected to know within 24 hours whether Hamas has agreed to the plan.

Ceasefire plan includes hostage-prisoner swap and pause in bombing, but final approval from Netanyahu still awaited
