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

In the event that the two parties agree to a comprehensive set of requirements, the end of fighting will be paired with the freeing of all Israeli hostages, including deceased and living, “over a 72-hour period” of the Israeli government officially endorsing the agreement.

To reciprocate the freeing of captives, Israeli authorities would release a group of 250 Palestinians presently undergoing life sentences and 1,700 Palestinians in the Gaza region held since the war began on 7 October 2023 following the fatal Hamas offensive on Israeli soil.

In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israeli officials will release the remains of 15 Palestinians who have died.

This proposal does not necessitate a total Israeli retreat prior to the release of the hostages. On the contrary, Israeli forces would retreat to an established boundary, inside the Gaza area, to make arrangements for a captive liberation.

This initiative indicates that all military operations, such as air strikes and shelling, 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”.

When each detainee are freed, pardon will be awarded to members of Hamas – the Islamist military group that Israel’s prime minister, Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to destroy – who accept non-violent cohabitation and to decommission their weapons.

Individuals who wish to leave Gaza will be offered safe passage to states who have consented to accept them.

This twenty-point proposal envisions the Gaza Strip as “an area free from radicalization and terror that poses zero any danger to adjacent states”. Furthermore, it states the territory will be “revitalized for the advantage of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Importantly, and contrary to the outlook of a few of the far-right allies of Netanyahu, the Israeli government will avoid occupying or annex the territory, which was the site of 21 settlements from Israel ahead of their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Nor will any person be compelled to depart Gaza territory, the proposal assures. Individuals who want to exit will be allowed to do so without restriction and granted reentry.

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

Donald Trump Urges Delegates to ‘Move Fast’ as They Meet in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Talks

Donald Trump has called on delegates from Hamas and Israel meeting in the nation of Egypt for vital discussions targeting halting the war led by Israel in the Gaza Strip to “move fast,” adding, in remarks on the day of Sunday, that there had been “extremely constructive” talks.

The US president said:

There have been highly favorable talks with the Hamas organization, and States from around the globe (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) over the weekend, to liberate the detainees, stop the fighting in Gaza but, more importantly, at last achieve long-desired peace in the Middle East.

These discussions have been highly productive, and moving quickly. Specialist groups will meet once more on Monday, in Egypt, to address and finalize the final details. I am told that the opening segment will likely finish this week, and I am requesting each participant to ACCELERATE PROGRESS.

The United States delegate Envoy Witkoff is expected to join the negotiations, according to reports from Israel, together with Israeli delegates and a delegation from Palestine chaired by Khalil al-Hayya, the assistant leader of the political office of Hamas.

Khalil al-Hayya is expected to confer with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in the city of Cairo today in the morning, before negotiations in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El Sheikh.

Nonetheless, Israel’s top delegate, strategic affairs minister Dermer, is anticipated to participate in talks toward the end of the week, pending progress in the talks, according to several officials from Israel.

Hope regarding a prospective cessation of hostilities has increased worldwide, with officials from Western and Arab countries urging both Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. On Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, called Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and showed approval for the Trump plan, describing it as “the optimal opportunity for peace”, according to a official statement.
