Trump Unveils 20-Point Gaza Plan for Ceasefire and Hostage Release

Israel conditionally backs the proposal pending a response from Hamas.

Overview

  • The White House published the plan calling for an immediate halt to fighting, a staged Israeli withdrawal, and the release of all hostages within 72 hours after Israel’s approval, with military operations paused and lines frozen.
  • The proposal includes a large prisoner exchange in which Israel would free over 1,000 Palestinian inmates, including lifers and detainees held since October 7, and it pledges that no one will be forcibly displaced from Gaza.
  • Gaza would be demilitarized with Hamas excluded from governance, while members who disarm and accept peaceful coexistence would receive amnesty or safe passage.
  • An interim, technocratic Palestinian administration would operate under a U.S.-led Committee of the Peace chaired by President Trump, with Tony Blair playing a prominent role, alongside a rapidly deployed international stabilization force to support approved Palestinian police.
  • Prime Minister Netanyahu voiced conditional support and warned Israel would “finish the job” if Hamas rejects or violates the terms; Hamas says it is reviewing the offer via Qatar and Egypt as Arab states, European leaders and the UN signal cautious readiness to engage.
