What’s in Trump’s Twenty-Point ‘Resolution Strategy’ for Gaza?

In the event that the two parties accept a detailed list of conditions, the end of fighting will be paired with the liberation of all captives from Israel, whether deceased or surviving, “in under three days” of Israel officially endorsing the agreement.

In return for the freeing of captives, Israel would release a group of 250 Palestinians currently serving lengthy incarcerations and 1,700 Palestinians in the Gaza region held since the hostilities erupted on the 7th of October, 2023 following the fatal Hamas offensive on Israel.

For each captive from Israel whose remains are handed over, Israel will return the corpses of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

The strategy does not require a complete Israeli pullout before the release of the hostages. Instead, the Israeli army would withdraw to an established boundary, inside Gaza, to get ready for a captive liberation.

This initiative states that all armed activities, such as aerial and artillery bombardment, will be halted in the course of the release process and front lines will stay fixed until “conditions are met for the gradual total pullout”.

When each detainee are freed, clemency will be given to members of Hamas – the Islamist military group that the Israeli PM, Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eradicate – who accept harmonious living and to disarm themselves.

People who wish to leave Gaza territory will be given protected movement to countries who have approved their entry.

The 20-point plan envisions the Gaza Strip as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that presents no a risk to its neighbours”. Additionally, it declares the region will be “redeveloped for the welfare of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough”.

Importantly, and in defiance of the vision of some of the far-right allies of Netanyahu, Israel will refrain from occupying or take over the territory, which was home to 21 communities established by Israel ahead of their populace was removed in 2005.

Furthermore, not anyone be obligated to exit Gaza territory, the proposal assures. Those who desire to depart will be permitted to do so freely and allowed to come back.

Hamas will not be allowed any role, “directly or indirectly”, in the future administration of the region.

Donald Trump Calls on Negotiators to ‘Move Fast’ as They Meet in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Talks

Donald J. Trump has urged representatives of Hamas and Israel gathering in the nation of Egypt for key negotiations aimed at ending the war led by Israel in the Gaza Strip to “accelerate progress,” adding, in remarks on Sunday, that there had been “very positive” talks.

The American leader stated:

We have had highly favorable discussions with Hamas representatives, and Countries from around the globe (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) during the weekend, to release the Hostages, stop the fighting in Gaza but, of greater importance, at last achieve long-awaited peace in the Middle Eastern region.

These discussions have been extremely effective, and moving quickly. Specialist groups will meet once more this Monday, in Egypt, to tackle and finalize the remaining specifics. I am told that the initial stage is expected to conclude within the week, and I am requesting each participant to MOVE FAST.

The US envoy Envoy Witkoff is anticipated to participate in the talks, as per sources in Israel, in addition to Israeli delegates and a Palestinian delegation chaired by Khalil al-Hayya, the assistant leader of the political office of Hamas.

Al-Hayya is scheduled to meet with mediators from Egyptian and Qatari officials in the city of Cairo on Monday morning, before negotiations in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm el-Sheikh.

However, Israel’s chief negotiator, the strategic affairs minister Minister Dermer, is slated to attend talks toward the end of the week, depending on advancements in the negotiations, as per several officials from Israel.

Positive outlook on a possible truce has increased worldwide, with leaders from the West and Arab nations urging Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. During Sunday, the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, called Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and expressed support for the Trump proposal, calling it “the best chance for peace”, as per a readout.
