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

Provided that both sides agree to a comprehensive set of requirements, the halt to conflict will be accompanied by the release of all captives from Israel, including deceased and living, “within 72 hours” of the Israeli government officially endorsing the agreement.

To reciprocate the liberation of detainees, Israeli authorities would release 250 individuals of Palestinian origin at present completing indefinite prison terms and an additional 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza territory apprehended after the war began on the 7th of October, 2023 after Hamas’s deadly attack on Israeli soil.

In exchange for every captive from Israel whose remains are handed over, Israel will release the bodies of 15 deceased Palestinians.

The strategy does not necessitate a complete Israeli pullout prior to the captive release. Rather, Israeli forces would withdraw to an established boundary, inside of Gaza’s territory, to prepare for a captive liberation.

The proposal indicates that every military action, encompassing air strikes and shelling, will be halted during the liberation procedure and battle lines will remain frozen until “conditions are met for the phased full withdrawal”.

When all hostages are liberated, amnesty will be awarded to individuals associated with Hamas – the armed Islamist faction that the premier of Israel, Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eliminate – who agree to peaceful coexistence and to disarm themselves.

People who desire to depart the Gaza region will be given secure transit to states who have agreed to receive them.

The comprehensive strategy foresees Gaza territory as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that does not pose any danger to neighboring countries”. Furthermore, it says the territory will be “reconstructed for the benefit of the Gaza residents, who have endured excessive hardship”.

Vitally, and in defiance of the perspective of a few of Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, Israel will avoid occupying or take over the land, which was the location of 21 communities established by Israel ahead of their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Furthermore, not any person be forced to leave Gaza territory, the strategy guarantees. Those who want to exit will be authorized to do so without restriction and granted reentry.

Hamas as an entity will not be allowed any participation, “directly or indirectly”, in the future administration of the territory.

Trump Urges Negotiators to ‘Move Fast’ as They Assemble in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Discussions

Donald Trump has urged Hamas and Israeli negotiators gathering in the nation of Egypt for crucial talks focused on halting the Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip to “act quickly,” remarking, in comments on the day of Sunday, that there had been “highly favorable” conversations.

The American leader said:

There were very positive talks with Hamas, and Countries from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) over the weekend, to free the captives, end the War in Gaza but, of greater importance, ultimately secure long-desired PEACE in the Middle Eastern region.

These talks have been very successful, and moving quickly. The technical teams will again meet on Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to address and clarify the final details. Sources indicate that the initial stage will likely finish within the week, and I am requesting all parties to ACT QUICKLY.

America’s representative Steve Witkoff is expected to join the discussions, as per Israeli media, together with Israel’s negotiators and a delegation from Palestine led by Khalil al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the political office of the Hamas movement.

Khalil al-Hayya is reportedly due to meet with intermediaries from Egyptian and Qatari officials in Cairo on Monday morning, before talks in the Egyptian resort town 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 developments in the discussions, as per three Israeli officials.

Hope regarding a possible truce has increased worldwide, with officials from Western and Arab countries urging Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. During Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Israeli PM Netanyahu and voiced backing for the Trump proposal, calling it “the best chance for peace”, according to a readout.
