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

Provided that both sides consent to a detailed list of conditions, the end of fighting will be followed by the freeing of all individuals held by Hamas, both dead and alive, “within 72 hours” of Israel’s leadership formally approving the deal.

In return for the liberation of detainees, Israel would let go 250 individuals of Palestinian origin currently serving life sentences and an additional 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza held since the hostilities erupted on the 7th of October, 2023 following the fatal Hamas offensive on Israel.

For every Israeli hostage whose body is returned, Israeli officials will return the corpses of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

This proposal does not require a full Israeli withdrawal before the hostage liberation. Rather, Israel’s military would withdraw to an agreed upon line, within the Gaza area, to get ready for a captive liberation.

The proposal indicates that all military operations, encompassing air strikes and shelling, will be halted in the course of the exchange operation and battle lines will be maintained until “requirements are satisfied for the phased full withdrawal”.

Once every captive are released, amnesty will be given to Hamas affiliates – the armed Islamist faction that the Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, has frequently sworn to destroy – who consent to non-violent cohabitation and to decommission their weapons.

People who desire to depart Gaza will be given safe passage to nations who have agreed to receive them.

The 20-point plan foresees the Gaza Strip as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that presents no a risk to neighboring countries”. Furthermore, it says the region will be “redeveloped for the welfare of the Gaza residents, who have suffered more than enough”.

Crucially, and opposing the perspective of certain Netanyahu’s extremist political allies, Israel’s leadership will not occupy or annex the land, which was the site of 21 communities established by Israel before their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Additionally, no any individual be forced to leave Gaza territory, the plan promises. People who wish to leave will be authorized to do so without hindrance and allowed to come back.

The Hamas organization will not be permitted any participation, “directly or indirectly”, in the upcoming leadership of the territory.

Trump Calls on Delegates to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as They Meet in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Negotiations

Donald J. Trump has called on representatives of Hamas and Israel gathering in the nation of Egypt for vital discussions targeting halting the Israeli conflict in Gaza to “act quickly,” remarking, in statements on Sunday, that there had been “very positive” conversations.

The US president stated:

We have had highly favorable discussions with Hamas representatives, and Nations from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) during the weekend, to free the captives, halt the conflict in Gaza but, of greater importance, ultimately secure long-desired stability in the Middle East.

These negotiations have been highly productive, and advancing swiftly. Expert delegations will reconvene this Monday, in Egypt, to work through and refine the last points. It has been reported that the first phase should be completed this week, and I am asking all parties to MOVE FAST.

The United States delegate Witkoff is expected to join the negotiations, based on sources in Israel, alongside Israel’s negotiators and a Palestinian group chaired by Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy head of the political office of Hamas.

The Hamas official is expected to confer with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in the city of Cairo today in the morning, ahead of talks in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El Sheikh.

Nonetheless, Israel’s top delegate, the strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer, is anticipated to participate in talks later this week, depending on progress in the talks, based on multiple Israeli sources.

Hope regarding a potential ceasefire has escalated across the world, with leaders from the West and Arab nations urging Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. During Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, called Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and expressed support for the Trump initiative, calling it “the most favorable prospect for stability”, according to a summary.
