Analyzing Trump’s Gaza Plan: Key Points, Hamas’ Position, and the ISF

The White House has introduced a substantial 20-point proposal aimed at bringing an end to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas, which has persisted for almost two years. The plan, unveiled on September 29th, has been approved by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. However, Hamas has only offered its agreement to some of the provisions, including the ceasefire, while requesting that its own conditions be met. The proposal, endorsed by Netanyahu, encompasses an immediate ceasefire, the exchange of hostages, and the disarmament of Hamas. Additionally, it addresses Palestinian self-governance, conditioned on deradicalization efforts and international monitoring. Upon Israel’s public acceptance of the agreement, all hostages, regardless of their condition, are to be returned within 72 hours. Details regarding Hamas’ desired modifications, its additions to the 20-point plan, and the responsibilities of the International Stabilisation Force (ISF), particularly in collaboration with Muslim countries, remain central to the discussion.
