Details of Donald Trump’s Twenty-Point ‘Resolution Strategy’ for the Gaza Strip?

Assuming each faction accept a specific series of terms, the cessation of hostilities will be paired with the freeing of all Israeli hostages, whether deceased or surviving, “in under three days” of Israel publicly accepting the arrangement.

In return for the freeing of captives, the Israeli state would let go 250 individuals of Palestinian origin presently undergoing life sentences and 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza territory apprehended after the conflict started on the 7th of October, 2023 after Hamas’s deadly attack on Israel.

For each Israeli national held hostage whose remains are handed over, Israel will release the corpses of 15 Palestinians who have died.

This proposal does not mandate a full Israeli withdrawal ahead of the release of the hostages. Instead, Israel’s military would withdraw to an mutually accepted border, inside of the Gaza area, to prepare for a captive liberation.

The proposal says that all military operations, such as bombing and artillery fire, will be suspended during the exchange operation and battle lines will remain frozen until “conditions are met for the gradual total pullout”.

When each detainee are liberated, amnesty will be awarded to members of Hamas – the armed Islamist faction that the premier of Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eliminate – who consent to non-violent cohabitation and to surrender their arms.

People who wish to leave Gaza will be offered protected movement to nations who have agreed to receive them.

The 20-point plan foresees the Gaza Strip as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that poses zero a risk to adjacent states”. Additionally, it says the area will be “redeveloped for the welfare of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough”.

Crucially, and contrary to the outlook of some of the far-right allies of Netanyahu, the Israeli government will not occupy or incorporate the territory, which was the location of 21 settlements from Israel ahead of their inhabitants were withdrawn in the year 2005.

Additionally, no any individual be compelled to depart Gaza, the proposal assures. People who want to exit will be allowed to do so without hindrance and granted reentry.

Hamas as an entity will not be permitted any involvement, “in any capacity”, in the upcoming leadership of the area.

Trump Urges Delegates to ‘Act Quickly’ as They Gather in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Talks

Donald Trump has urged Hamas and Israeli negotiators assembling in Egypt for crucial talks focused on halting the war led by Israel in the Gaza Strip to “act quickly,” adding, in comments on Sunday, that there had been “highly favorable” discussions.

The American leader stated:

We have had very positive negotiations with the Hamas organization, and States from across the planet (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) over the weekend, to free the captives, stop the fighting in the Gaza region but, of greater importance, finally have long-awaited stability in the Middle East.

These discussions have been extremely effective, and proceeding rapidly. The technical teams will again meet Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to work through and clarify the final details. Sources indicate that the opening segment should be completed within the week, and I am requesting all parties to MOVE FAST.

America’s representative Envoy Witkoff is anticipated to participate in the talks, as per Israeli media, together with representatives from Israel and a Palestinian delegation chaired by Khalil al-Hayya, the assistant leader of the political office of Hamas.

Al-Hayya is reportedly due to confer with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in the city of Cairo this morning, before negotiations in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El Sheikh.

Nonetheless, Israel’s chief negotiator, strategic affairs minister Dermer, is expected to join negotiations toward the end of the week, depending on developments in the negotiations, according to several officials from Israel.

Positive outlook on a possible truce has increased across the world, with leaders from the West and Arab nations encouraging both Hamas and Israel to finalize a settlement. This past Sunday, the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, contacted Israeli PM Netanyahu and showed approval for the Trump proposal, calling it “the optimal opportunity for stability”, according to a official statement.
