Details of Trump’s Twenty-Point ‘Peace Plan’ for the Gaza Strip?

Assuming both sides agree to a detailed list of conditions, the halt to conflict will be followed by the release of all Israeli hostages, whether deceased or surviving, “in under three days” of Israel formally approving the arrangement.

As a trade for the freeing of captives, the Israeli state would let go a group of 250 Palestinians presently undergoing indefinite prison terms and 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza territory detained since the hostilities erupted on the 7th of October, 2023 following the lethal assault by Hamas on Israel.

For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will hand back the corpses of 15 deceased Palestinians.

This proposal does not necessitate a complete Israeli pullout before the release of the hostages. On the contrary, Israel’s military would withdraw to an established boundary, inside of Gaza, to make arrangements for a prisoner exchange.

The proposal states that every military action, including bombing and artillery fire, will be paused in the course of the liberation procedure and front lines will remain frozen until “conditions are met for the gradual total pullout”.

After each detainee are released, pardon will be awarded to individuals associated with Hamas – the Islamist military group that the premier of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has frequently sworn to eradicate – who agree to non-violent cohabitation and to decommission their weapons.

Individuals who desire to depart the Gaza region will be given safe passage to nations who have approved their entry.

The comprehensive strategy envisions the Gaza Strip as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that presents no any danger to its neighbours”. In a separate point, it states the region will be “revitalized for the welfare of the people of Gaza, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Crucially, and opposing the vision of certain the far-right allies of Netanyahu, the Israeli government will not occupy or incorporate the land, which was home to 21 communities established by Israel before their inhabitants were withdrawn in the year 2005.

Additionally, no any person be compelled to depart Gaza, the strategy guarantees. People who wish to leave will be allowed to do so freely and granted reentry.

Hamas will be prohibited from any involvement, “directly or indirectly”, in the future administration of the region.

Donald Trump Urges Representatives to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as They Meet in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Discussions

Donald Trump has called on Hamas and Israeli negotiators meeting in Egypt for vital discussions focused on halting Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip to “move fast,” adding, in remarks on Sunday, that there had been “highly favorable” discussions.

President Trump said:

We have had very positive negotiations with the Hamas organization, and Countries from around the globe (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) over the weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, of greater importance, finally have long sought PEACE in the area of the Middle East.

These negotiations have been very successful, and moving quickly. The technical teams will reconvene on Monday, in Egypt, to address and finalize the final details. I am told that the initial stage is expected to conclude this week, and I am requesting each participant to MOVE FAST.

America’s representative Witkoff is expected to join the negotiations, as per Israeli media, in addition to representatives from Israel and a Palestinian delegation headed by Khalil al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the administrative wing of Hamas.

Al-Hayya is scheduled to confer with mediators from Egyptian and Qatari officials in the city of Cairo on Monday morning, ahead of talks in the Egyptian tourist destination of Sharm El-Sheikh.

Nonetheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, the strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer, is expected to join discussions in the coming days, subject to progress in the negotiations, according to multiple Israeli sources.

Hope regarding a possible truce has grown across the world, with officials from Western and Arab countries urging Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. On Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, called Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and expressed support for the Trump plan, labeling it as “the best chance for resolution”, as per a official statement.
