Overview
- The proposal shifts Gaza’s administration to technocratic authorities overseen by an international Council of Peace that Trump says he would lead, with Hamas barred from governance.
- Once signed, the plan promises an immediate humanitarian surge and infrastructure reconstruction, plus creation of a special economic zone offering preferential tariffs.
- WSJ reports that Israeli officials helped shape the text and that explicit two‑state wording was omitted, a change that sources say could deter Saudi financing.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and French President Emmanuel Macron voiced support, while Egypt and Qatar delivered the plan to Hamas, which is studying it and is not expected to respond for several days.
- U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff backed Tony Blair’s potential role on the council and suggested the framework could inform other conflicts, as Oregon sued over a National Guard mobilization and Ukrainian deputies filed a draft move to nominate Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.
