Key Points from Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Resolution Strategy’ for Gaza?

Provided that the two parties consent to a comprehensive set of requirements, the end of fighting will be accompanied by the liberation of all captives from Israel, whether deceased or surviving, “in under three days” of the Israeli government publicly accepting the deal.

In return for the release of hostages, Israel would let go 250 individuals of Palestinian origin currently serving lengthy incarcerations and 1,700 more Palestinians in Gaza held since the war began on 7 October 2023 after the lethal assault by Hamas on the nation of Israel.

For every Israeli hostage whose remains are handed over, Israeli officials will release the remains of 15 deceased Palestinians.

The strategy does not mandate a total Israeli retreat before the captive release. Rather, Israeli forces would retreat to an agreed upon line, inside of Gaza’s territory, to get ready for a prisoner exchange.

The proposal says that all armed activities, such as aerial and artillery bombardment, will be halted in the course of the release process and battle lines will be maintained until “conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal”.

Once each detainee are released, clemency will be awarded to members of Hamas – the militant Islamic organization that the Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, has consistently pledged to eradicate – who accept non-violent cohabitation and to disarm themselves.

People who want to exit Gaza will be provided with safe passage to nations who have consented to accept them.

This twenty-point proposal envisions Gaza territory as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that does not pose a threat to neighboring countries”. Additionally, it states the area will be “redeveloped for the advantage of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough”.

Importantly, and in defiance of the vision of certain Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, Israel’s leadership will refrain from occupying or take over the region, which was home to 21 communities established by Israel prior to their populace was removed in 2005.

Furthermore, not any person be obligated to exit the Gaza region, the strategy guarantees. Those who desire to depart will be authorized to do so without hindrance and permitted to return.

The Hamas organization will not be permitted any involvement, “in any capacity”, in the upcoming leadership of the territory.

Donald Trump Encourages Delegates to ‘Act Quickly’ as They Gather in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Discussions

President Trump has urged representatives of Hamas and Israel meeting in the nation of Egypt for key negotiations targeting ending the war led by Israel in Gaza to “move fast,” adding, in statements on the day of Sunday, that there had been “highly favorable” talks.

The American leader said:

We have had very positive negotiations with the Hamas organization, and Nations from across the planet (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) over the weekend, to release the Hostages, end the War in Gaza but, of greater importance, ultimately secure long-awaited peace in the Middle East.

These talks have been highly productive, and moving quickly. Expert delegations will again meet Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to work through and refine the last points. It has been reported that the opening segment should be completed this week, and I am asking all parties to ACT QUICKLY.

The United States delegate Steve Witkoff is slated to attend the discussions, according to reports from Israel, together with representatives from Israel and a Palestinian delegation led by Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy head of the political office of Hamas.

Khalil al-Hayya is reportedly due to confer with mediators from Egypt and Qatar in Cairo, Egypt on Monday morning, ahead of talks in the Egyptian tourist destination of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Nevertheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, the strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer, is anticipated to participate in discussions later this week, depending on developments in the discussions, as per three Israeli officials.

Hope regarding a potential ceasefire has escalated across the world, with western and Arab leaders urging both Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. On Sunday, the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, called Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and voiced backing for the Trump initiative, describing it as “the best chance for resolution”, as per a official statement.
