Hamas Eyes Trump's Gaza Ceasefire Plan: A 20-Point Path to Peace
Hamas Moves Toward Accepting Trump’s Gaza Ceasefire Plan
Hamas and other Palestinian factions are reportedly leaning toward accepting President Donald Trump’s Gaza ceasefire proposal, with a response expected soon, according to sources close to the negotiations. The plan, unveiled alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, outlines a 20-point framework aimed at ending ongoing hostilities swiftly, including a ceasefire, hostage releases, and increased humanitarian aid.
Key Elements of the Proposal
The ceasefire plan includes the release of all hostages within 72 hours of Israel’s acceptance, the return of Palestinian prisoners, and the establishment of an interim administration of Palestinian technocrats overseen by an international “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump. Israel would maintain security control around Gaza’s perimeter, while reconstruction and political solutions would follow stabilization of the area.
Implications and Next Steps
The quick acceptance by Hamas could signal a critical turning point in the Gaza conflict, potentially ending months of violence. Mediators from Egypt and Qatar await the official response, which could pave the way for renewed peace efforts and humanitarian relief in the region.
