TL;DR: The White House has unveiled a 20-point plan to end the Gaza war, with President Trump at the helm of a temporary "Board of Peace" to govern Gaza. The plan includes ceasefire terms, hostage releases, Hamas disarmament, Gaza’s redevelopment, and a possible pathway to Palestinian statehood after reforms. The initiative faces skepticism from Israeli and Hamas leadership.
Key Points:
- International "Board of Peace":
- Ceasefire and Hostage Release:
- Hamas Excluded from Governance:
- Gaza's Redevelopment:
- Path to Palestinian Statehood:
President Trump will chair a "Board of Peace" to temporarily govern Gaza, with oversight from international figures like Tony Blair. The board will manage Gaza’s redevelopment until the Palestinian Authority (PA) can resume control.
The plan calls for a ceasefire, the immediate release of all hostages within 72 hours, and the return of all deceased hostages.
Hamas will have no role in Gaza’s future governance. The group is required to disarm, and international security forces will ensure compliance.
The plan focuses on redeveloping Gaza for its people, encouraging residents to stay and rebuild. No forced displacement is mandated.
The plan outlines a potential path to Palestinian statehood after Gaza’s transition, contingent on PA reforms and international stabilization.
