Details of Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Resolution Strategy’ for the Gaza Strip?

Provided that both sides consent to a specific series of terms, the end of fighting will be accompanied by the release of all captives from Israel, including deceased and living, “over a 72-hour period” of Israel’s leadership publicly accepting the arrangement.

To reciprocate the liberation of detainees, the Israeli state would let go a group of 250 Palestinians presently undergoing indefinite prison terms and an additional 1,700 Palestinians in the Gaza region apprehended after the hostilities erupted on 7 October 2023 following the fatal Hamas offensive on Israeli soil.

For every Israeli national held hostage whose body is returned, Israeli officials will hand back the remains of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

The strategy does not mandate a complete Israeli pullout prior to the captive release. Instead, Israeli forces would pull back to an mutually accepted border, inside of Gaza, to get ready for a captive liberation.

The proposal states that all armed activities, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be paused throughout the exchange operation and battle lines will remain frozen until “conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal”.

After every captive are liberated, amnesty will be given to Hamas affiliates – the Islamist military group that Israel’s prime minister, PM Netanyahu, has frequently sworn to destroy – who agree to non-violent cohabitation and to disarm themselves.

Those who want to exit the Gaza region will be offered secure transit to nations who have agreed to receive them.

The 20-point plan envisions the Gaza Strip as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that does not pose a risk to neighboring countries”. Additionally, it says the area will be “redeveloped for the welfare of the Gaza residents, who have endured excessive hardship”.

Importantly, and in defiance of the outlook of certain the far-right allies of Netanyahu, Israel’s leadership will refrain from occupying or annex the region, which was the site of 21 Israeli settlements before their inhabitants were withdrawn in the year 2005.

Nor will anyone be obligated to exit Gaza, the proposal assures. People who want to exit will be authorized to do so without restriction and permitted to return.

Hamas will be prohibited from any role, “directly or indirectly”, in the future administration of the territory.

Donald Trump Calls on Delegates to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as They Meet in Egypt for Gaza Discussions

Donald J. Trump has called on Hamas and Israeli negotiators meeting in the nation of Egypt for vital discussions focused on halting the war led by Israel in Gaza to “accelerate progress,” adding, in statements on Sunday morning, that there had been “extremely constructive” talks.

The American leader stated:

We have had very positive talks with Hamas representatives, and Nations from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) during the weekend, to free the captives, stop the fighting in the Gaza region but, more importantly, ultimately secure long-desired stability in the Middle Eastern region.

These negotiations have been extremely effective, and moving quickly. Specialist groups will reconvene on Monday, in Egypt, to tackle and clarify the last points. Sources indicate that the opening segment is expected to conclude within the week, and I am requesting everyone to ACT QUICKLY.

The US envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to join the discussions, as per Israeli media, in addition to Israeli delegates and a Palestinian group chaired by Khalil al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the political office of the Hamas movement.

The Hamas official is scheduled to meet with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in Cairo this morning, before discussions in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El-Sheikh.

Nonetheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, Minister of Strategic Affairs Minister Dermer, is anticipated to participate in discussions later this week, subject to developments in the talks, based on several officials from Israel.

Hope regarding a possible truce has escalated globally, with western and Arab leaders encouraging Israel and Hamas to finalize a settlement. During Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Chancellor Merz, called Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and showed approval for the Trump proposal, calling it “the best chance for peace”, according to a official statement.
