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

Assuming the two parties accept a detailed list of requirements, the halt to conflict will be followed by the release of all captives from Israel, including deceased and living, “in under three days” of Israel’s leadership officially endorsing the deal.

In return for the freeing of captives, Israeli authorities would free a group of 250 Palestinians at present completing indefinite prison terms and an additional 1,700 Palestinians in the Gaza region detained since the conflict started on October 7, 2023 after the lethal assault by Hamas on Israeli soil.

In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose body is returned, Israeli officials will release the remains of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

This proposal does not necessitate a total Israeli retreat ahead of the hostage liberation. Instead, Israeli forces would retreat to an agreed upon line, inside of Gaza, to get ready for a hostage release.

The plan indicates that all armed activities, encompassing aerial and artillery bombardment, will be halted during the release process and combat positions will stay fixed until “conditions are met for the phased full withdrawal”.

After every captive are freed, pardon will be granted to individuals associated with Hamas – the armed Islamist faction that Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has consistently pledged to eliminate – who accept harmonious living and to disarm themselves.

Individuals who want to exit the Gaza region will be given safe passage to states who have consented to accept them.

This twenty-point proposal envisions Gaza as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that presents no any danger to its neighbours”. In a separate point, it says the territory will be “redeveloped for the advantage of the people of Gaza, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Vitally, and contrary to the vision of a few of the far-right allies of Netanyahu, Israel will avoid occupying or take over the territory, which was the site of 21 settlements from Israel before their residents were evacuated in the year 2005.

Furthermore, not anyone be compelled to depart Gaza, the proposal assures. Individuals who wish to leave will be authorized to do so freely and granted reentry.

Hamas as an entity will not be permitted any involvement, “in any form”, in the upcoming leadership of the region.

Trump Urges Delegates to ‘Move Fast’ as They Assemble in Egypt for Gaza Discussions

Donald Trump has called on representatives of Hamas and Israel assembling in Egypt for crucial talks aimed at halting the Israeli conflict in Gaza to “accelerate progress,” stating, in comments on Sunday, that there had been “extremely constructive” talks.

The American leader said:

We have had extremely constructive discussions with Hamas, and States from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) over the weekend, to release the Hostages, halt the conflict in the Gaza region but, more importantly, at last achieve long sought stability in the area of the Middle East.

These talks have been highly productive, and advancing swiftly. Expert delegations will reconvene Monday, in Egypt, to work through and refine the final details. Sources indicate that the opening segment should be completed in the coming days, and I am requesting all parties to ACT QUICKLY.

America’s representative Steve Witkoff is expected to join the discussions, according to sources in Israel, together with Israel’s negotiators and a Palestinian delegation led by Khalil al-Hayya, the assistant leader of the political office of Hamas.

The Hamas official is scheduled to meet with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in Cairo today in the morning, prior to talks in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El Sheikh.

Nonetheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, is anticipated to participate in talks toward the end of the week, subject to progress in the talks, based on multiple Israeli sources.

Hope regarding a possible truce has grown worldwide, with leaders from the West and Arab nations urging both Hamas and Israel to finalize a settlement. On Sunday, the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Israeli PM Netanyahu and expressed support for the Trump initiative, labeling it as “the optimal opportunity for resolution”, as per a summary.
