Details of Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Peace Plan’ for Gaza?

Assuming the two parties consent to a detailed list of terms, the end of fighting will be accompanied by the release of all individuals held by Hamas, whether deceased or surviving, “in under three days” of Israel’s leadership officially endorsing the agreement.

As a trade for the release of hostages, the Israeli state would let go 250 Palestinians at present completing lengthy incarcerations and 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza apprehended after the war began on 7 October 2023 subsequent to the lethal assault by Hamas on the nation of Israel.

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

The strategy does not necessitate a full Israeli withdrawal ahead of the hostage liberation. On the contrary, Israeli forces would retreat to an mutually accepted border, inside the Gaza area, to prepare for a hostage release.

The proposal states that all military operations, such as aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended in the course of the liberation procedure and front lines will stay fixed until “terms are fulfilled for the gradual total pullout”.

Once each detainee are liberated, clemency will be granted to individuals associated with Hamas – the Islamist military group that Israel’s prime minister, PM Netanyahu, has consistently pledged to eradicate – who accept peaceful coexistence and to surrender their arms.

Those who desire to depart Gaza territory will be offered safe passage to countries who have approved their entry.

The 20-point plan envisions the Gaza Strip as “an area free from radicalization and terror that does not pose a risk to its neighbours”. Furthermore, it declares the region will be “revitalized for the welfare of the people of Gaza, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Vitally, and in defiance of the vision of certain the far-right allies of Netanyahu, the Israeli government will refrain from occupying or annex the territory, which was the site of 21 communities established by Israel ahead of their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Nor will anyone be forced to leave Gaza, the plan promises. Those who want to exit will be allowed to do so freely and granted reentry.

Hamas as an entity will not be allowed any involvement, “in any capacity”, in the future administration of the territory.

Donald Trump Encourages Representatives to ‘Move Fast’ as They Meet in Egypt for Gaza Talks

Donald J. Trump has called on Hamas and Israeli negotiators gathering in Egypt for crucial talks focused on ending Israel’s war in Gaza to “move fast,” stating, in comments on the day of Sunday, that there had been “extremely constructive” conversations.

The US president stated:

There were very positive discussions with the Hamas organization, and Countries from across the planet (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) during the weekend, to release the Hostages, stop the fighting in Gaza but, even more significantly, ultimately secure long sought PEACE in the Middle East.

These negotiations have been very successful, and advancing swiftly. Expert delegations will meet once more on Monday, in Egypt, to address and refine the remaining specifics. It has been reported that the opening segment will likely finish this week, and I am requesting everyone to ACT QUICKLY.

The United States delegate Steve Witkoff is slated to attend the discussions, according to Israeli media, alongside representatives from Israel and a delegation from Palestine headed by Khalil al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the political office of Hamas.

The Hamas official is expected to meet with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in Cairo, Egypt on Monday morning, ahead of talks in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El Sheikh.

However, the lead negotiator for Israel, strategic affairs minister Minister Dermer, is slated to attend discussions in the coming days, depending on progress in the talks, as per multiple Israeli sources.

Hope regarding a prospective cessation of hostilities has increased across the world, with western and Arab leaders pressuring Hamas and Israel to reach an agreement. This past Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and expressed support for the Trump proposal, labeling it as “the best chance for resolution”, according to a summary.
