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.
