Trump presented a US plan to end the conflict in Gaza. Details are expected.

Al Hadath TV channel reported on Donald Trump’s new plan regarding the cessation of hostilities in Gaza.

Trump’s Peace Settlement Plan

The project involves the immediate end of conflicts and the release of hostages within 48 hours. The main requirement is the disarmament of Hamas, which includes the destruction of offensive weapons.

He promises amnesty to those militants who renounce violence, and those who choose to continue fighting will be provided with a safe exit from the country.

The governance of Gaza will be transferred to “qualified Palestinians,” who will operate under international control until the initiation of Palestinian Authority reforms. Key components of the plan include:

• Humanitarian aid and reconstruction.

The US will initiate the restoration of infrastructure, hospitals, and housing, with aid distribution being carried out under the supervision of the UN and neutral organizations.

• International security forces.

Arab and international troops will ensure the security of Gaza, while Israel will gradually withdraw its troops.

• Prisoner exchange.

The release of Palestinian prisoners will occur after the hostages are freed.

• Negotiations on Palestinian statehood.

Future dialogues are planned regarding the creation of an independent Palestinian state.

International Recognition of Palestine

• Last week, several countries, including France, Belgium, and Canada, officially recognized Palestine as a sovereign state.
• Currently, about 150 out of 193 UN member countries support the recognition of Palestine, while the US and Israel oppose it.
• Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas announced plans to hold elections for the Palestinian National Council by the end of 2025. This will be the first democratic initiative since 2006.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu emphasized that the country will not support initiatives to recognize Palestine as a separate state.
• Artem Bronzhukov, deputy director of the analytical center “Politics,” noted that the ongoing conflicts in Gaza are the reason for Israel’s firm stance. He pointed to Macron’s proposal that Palestine should recognize Israel to end the war.
