Trump Unveils 20-Point Plan for Gaza Peace

The announcement was made during Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which the plan for ending the Gaza conflict was formally presented.

According to Rokna, citing Sputnik, the plan stipulates that “Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza.”

A White House statement accompanying the proposal declared: “Gaza will be a region free of extremism and terrorism that poses no threat to its neighbors. Furthermore, within 72 hours of Israel’s public acceptance of this agreement, all captives, alive or deceased, will be returned.”

The plan further outlines that following the release of all captives, Israel will free 250 prisoners serving life sentences in addition to 1,700 Palestinians detained after October 7, 2023.

The White House affirmed that the United States will facilitate dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to reach agreement on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence.

If both sides agree to the proposal, the war will end immediately. Gaza will then be administered by a provisional government consisting of a technocratic committee of Palestinians and international experts, under the supervision of a “Peace Council” chaired by Trump and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.

Trump stressed in the plan: “There will be no forced evacuations. Residents are encouraged to remain and help build a better Gaza. However, they may freely leave and return at will.”

The comprehensive document details 20 points, including:

1. Gaza will be free of terrorism and will not threaten its neighbors.

2. Reconstruction of Gaza for the benefit of its people.

3. Immediate cessation of war upon acceptance by both parties, with Israeli forces withdrawing to agreed lines to prepare for prisoner releases.

4. Return of all captives within 72 hours of Israel’s acceptance.

5. Release of 250 life-sentence prisoners and 1,700 detainees, including women and children, by Israel.

6. Amnesty for Hamas members who renounce violence and surrender arms, with safe passage offered to those wishing to leave Gaza.

7. Immediate delivery of humanitarian aid and reconstruction support.

8. Aid distribution through the United Nations, Red Crescent, and other independent international agencies.

9. Governance of Gaza by a technocratic Palestinian committee under the Peace Council chaired by Trump and Blair.

10. Economic redevelopment plans involving international experts.

11. Creation of a special economic zone with preferential trade arrangements.

12. No forced evacuations, with freedom of movement guaranteed.

13. Complete demilitarization of Gaza under international supervision.

14. Regional guarantees to ensure Gaza poses no threats.

15. Establishment of an International Stabilization Force with regional support, including Jordan and Egypt.

16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza and will gradually withdraw as security benchmarks are met.

17. Humanitarian efforts will continue in designated safe zones even if Hamas delays or rejects the plan.

18. Promotion of interfaith dialogue to foster coexistence.

19. Prospects for eventual Palestinian statehood once reforms and development are completed.

20. U.S.-brokered talks to establish a political horizon for peace.

The White House concluded that if both parties accept the plan, the war will end immediately and a framework for rebuilding Gaza and achieving long-term peace will be implemented under international oversight.
