Trump Unveils 20-Point Gaza Plan as Netanyahu Offers Conditional Backing

The plan now hinges on a formal Hamas response through Qatari and Egyptian mediators.

Overview

  • The U.S. proposal calls for an immediate halt to fighting, a pause in military operations with battle lines frozen, and the return of all hostages within 72 hours of Israel’s go-ahead.
  • Israeli forces would withdraw in phases as Gaza is demilitarized and Hamas disarmed, with Israel retaining a limited security perimeter for a time.
  • A technocratic Palestinian committee would run day-to-day governance under a U.S.-led Committee of the Peace chaired by President Trump, with Tony Blair in a senior role, and an international stabilization force would deploy.
  • Netanyahu endorsed the plan’s goals but warned Israel would “finish the work” if Hamas rejects or obstructs it, and Trump pledged full U.S. support to Israel in that scenario.
  • Terms include a large prisoner release by Israel after hostages return, explicit rejection of forced displacement, and UN- and Red Crescent–supervised aid; Hamas says it has not yet received the written offer, while regional and Western leaders voiced cautious support and Netanyahu apologized to Qatar for a September 9 strike.
