Details of Donald Trump’s 20-Point ‘Resolution Strategy’ for Gaza?

Provided that each faction consent to a comprehensive set of terms, the cessation of hostilities will be followed by the liberation of all Israeli hostages, whether deceased or surviving, “in under three days” of Israel’s leadership officially endorsing the agreement.

To reciprocate the freeing of captives, Israel would release 250 individuals of Palestinian origin at present completing life sentences and 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza detained since the war began on 7 October 2023 subsequent to the fatal Hamas offensive on Israeli soil.

For each Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 Palestinians who have died.

The plan does not require a complete Israeli pullout ahead of the hostage liberation. Rather, the Israeli army would retreat to an established boundary, inside of the Gaza area, to get ready for a prisoner exchange.

This initiative states that all armed activities, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended throughout the liberation procedure and combat positions will remain frozen until “terms are fulfilled for the phased full withdrawal”.

After every captive are liberated, pardon will be granted to individuals associated with Hamas – the Islamist military group that Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has consistently pledged to eradicate – who accept peaceful coexistence and to disarm themselves.

People who want to exit Gaza territory will be provided with protected movement to states who have approved their entry.

The 20-point plan foresees Gaza territory as “an area free from radicalization and terror that presents no a risk to its neighbours”. Additionally, it states the area will be “redeveloped for the welfare of the people of Gaza, who have endured excessive hardship”.

Importantly, and contrary to the outlook of certain Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, the Israeli government will refrain from occupying or annex the region, which was the site of 21 communities established by Israel ahead of their inhabitants were withdrawn in 2005.

Nor will any person be obligated to exit Gaza, the plan promises. Those who want to exit will be allowed to do so freely and permitted to return.

The Hamas organization will not be allowed any participation, “in any form”, in the upcoming leadership of the area.

Donald Trump Calls on Negotiators to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as They Gather in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Talks

President Trump has encouraged delegates from Hamas and Israel assembling in the nation of Egypt for crucial talks targeting concluding the war led by Israel in Gaza to “act quickly,” stating, in remarks on the day of Sunday, that there had been “extremely constructive” discussions.

President Trump said:

There have been highly favorable negotiations with Hamas, and States from across the planet (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) during the weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, more importantly, at last achieve long-awaited stability in the Middle East.

These talks have been extremely effective, and moving quickly. The technical teams will meet once more this Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to tackle and finalize the remaining specifics. I am told that the opening segment is expected to conclude in the coming days, and I am asking each participant to ACCELERATE PROGRESS.

America’s representative Steve Witkoff is expected to join the talks, as per reports from Israel, in addition to Israel’s negotiators and a Palestinian delegation chaired by Al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the administrative wing of Hamas.

The Hamas official is expected to have discussions with intermediaries from Egyptian and Qatari officials in Cairo, Egypt on Monday morning, before talks in the Egyptian tourist destination of Sharm el-Sheikh.

However, Israel’s chief negotiator, Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, is anticipated to participate in talks later this week, pending progress in the talks, based on three Israeli officials.

Optimism about a potential ceasefire has increased across the world, with leaders from the West and Arab nations pressuring Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement. This past Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Israeli PM Netanyahu and expressed support for the Trump plan, labeling it as “the optimal opportunity for peace”, according to a summary.
