Key Points from Donald Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Peace Plan’ for Gaza?

In the event that the two parties accept a detailed list of requirements, the end of fighting will be followed by the release of all captives from Israel, including deceased and living, “in under three days” of Israel’s leadership formally approving the agreement.

In return for the liberation of detainees, the Israeli state would let go 250 Palestinians presently undergoing life sentences and an additional 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza apprehended after the conflict started on October 7, 2023 subsequent to the fatal Hamas offensive on the nation of Israel.

In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose body is returned, Israeli officials will release the corpses of 15 Palestinians who have died.

The plan does not necessitate a complete Israeli pullout prior to the hostage liberation. Instead, the Israeli army would pull back to an agreed upon line, within Gaza, to make arrangements for a prisoner exchange.

The plan states that every military action, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be paused throughout the liberation procedure and battle lines will be maintained until “terms are fulfilled for the complete staged withdrawal”.

Once every captive are freed, pardon will be given to individuals associated with Hamas – the Islamist military group that the Israeli PM, PM Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eradicate – who consent to non-violent cohabitation and to decommission their weapons.

People who want to exit Gaza will be given protected movement to countries who have consented to accept them.

This twenty-point proposal foresees Gaza as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that presents no any danger to neighboring countries”. Additionally, it declares the region will be “reconstructed for the benefit of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough”.

Vitally, and in defiance of the outlook of some of the far-right allies of Netanyahu, Israel will refrain from occupying or take over the territory, which was the site of 21 Israeli settlements prior to their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Furthermore, not anyone be forced to leave Gaza territory, the proposal assures. People who want to exit will be authorized to do so without hindrance and granted reentry.

Hamas will be prohibited from any participation, “in any form”, in the future administration of the area.

Donald Trump Encourages Delegates to ‘Act Quickly’ as They Assemble in Egypt for Gaza Discussions

President Trump has called on representatives of Hamas and Israel gathering in Egypt for key negotiations focused on ending Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip to “act quickly,” remarking, in statements on Sunday morning, that there had been “very positive” talks.

President Trump said:

There were extremely constructive talks with the Hamas organization, and Nations from around the globe (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) this weekend, to free the captives, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, ultimately secure long-desired peace in the Middle Eastern region.

These discussions have been highly productive, and proceeding rapidly. Specialist groups will again meet Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to address and finalize the last points. Sources indicate that the opening segment should be completed in the coming days, and I am urging everyone to ACCELERATE PROGRESS.

America’s representative Steve Witkoff is slated to attend the talks, based on Israeli media, together with Israel’s negotiators and a Palestinian delegation chaired by Khalil al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the administrative wing of Hamas.

The Hamas official is scheduled to meet with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in the city of Cairo today in the morning, before discussions in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh.

However, the lead negotiator for Israel, the strategic affairs minister Dermer, is anticipated to participate in talks later this week, subject to advancements in the negotiations, as per three Israeli officials.

Optimism about a potential ceasefire has grown across the world, with leaders from the West and Arab nations urging both Hamas and Israel to reach an agreement. On Sunday, the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and expressed support for the Trump plan, calling it “the optimal opportunity for resolution”, according to a official statement.
