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

In the event that the two parties consent to a comprehensive set of terms, the halt to conflict will be paired with the freeing of all captives from Israel, including deceased and living, “within 72 hours” of Israel’s leadership publicly accepting the arrangement.

To reciprocate the freeing of captives, Israeli authorities would let go 250 Palestinians presently undergoing life sentences and an additional 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza held since the war began on the 7th of October, 2023 after the fatal Hamas offensive on Israeli soil.

For each Israeli hostage whose remains are handed over, Israel will release the remains of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

This proposal does not require a full Israeli withdrawal before the captive release. Rather, Israel’s military would pull back to an agreed upon line, inside of Gaza’s territory, to get ready for a prisoner exchange.

The proposal indicates that every military action, encompassing bombing and artillery fire, will be paused throughout the liberation procedure and battle lines will stay fixed until “conditions are met for the gradual total pullout”.

After every captive are freed, clemency will be awarded to Hamas affiliates – the militant Islamic organization that the Israeli PM, PM Netanyahu, has consistently pledged to eliminate – who accept peaceful coexistence and to decommission their weapons.

Individuals who want to exit Gaza will be provided with secure transit to states who have agreed to receive them.

This twenty-point proposal envisages Gaza territory as “an area free from radicalization and terror that does not pose a threat to its neighbours”. Additionally, it declares the area will be “reconstructed for the benefit of the Gaza residents, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Crucially, and contrary to the perspective of some of Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, the Israeli government will avoid occupying or incorporate the region, which was home to 21 settlements from Israel before their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Nor will any individual be forced to leave Gaza territory, the strategy guarantees. Those who desire to depart will be allowed to do so freely and allowed to come back.

The Hamas organization will not be allowed any role, “in any capacity”, in the future governance of the area.

Donald Trump Encourages Delegates to ‘Act Quickly’ as They Gather in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Talks

Donald Trump has called on Hamas and Israeli negotiators gathering in the nation of Egypt for crucial talks focused on halting the Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip to “act quickly,” remarking, in comments on Sunday morning, that there had been “very positive” discussions.

President Trump said:

There were extremely constructive talks with Hamas, and States from all over the World (Arab and Muslim nations, among others) during the weekend, to liberate the detainees, end the War in the Gaza region but, more importantly, ultimately secure long sought stability in the Middle East.

These discussions have been highly productive, and proceeding rapidly. The technical teams will reconvene this Monday, in Egypt, to work through and refine the remaining specifics. It has been reported that the opening segment should be completed in the coming days, and I am urging everyone to ACT QUICKLY.

The US envoy Witkoff is slated to attend the discussions, based on sources in Israel, together with representatives from Israel and a delegation from Palestine headed by Khalil al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the political bureau of Hamas.

Khalil al-Hayya is reportedly due to meet with facilitators from Egypt and Qatar in Cairo on Monday morning, prior to negotiations in the Egyptian tourist destination of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Nevertheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, strategic affairs minister Dermer, is expected to join discussions later this week, subject to progress in the negotiations, based on multiple Israeli sources.

Hope regarding a prospective cessation of hostilities has grown globally, with officials from Western and Arab countries encouraging Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. On Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, called Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and expressed support for the Trump initiative, describing it as “the optimal opportunity for stability”, based on a summary.
