Can the US-Backed Peace 'Sketch' for Gaza Succeed?
Israel will begin the first phase of the ceasefire after Hamas partially accepted Trump's 20-point plan, which includes releasing hostages and establishing technocratic governance.
- On Friday, Hamas partly accepted US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan, agreeing to hand Gaza's administration to an independent technocratic Palestinian body and signaling readiness to release the 47 hostages.
- Trump's 20-point plan seeks to convert Gaza into a weapons-free zone under an international body led by the US president, mandating a halt to hostilities, disarmament, and prisoner exchanges within 72 hours.
- Despite an overnight drop in strikes, a drone strike in al-Mawasi killed two children, while Israel's prime minister's office said it was preparing to implement the first stage of the Trump plan.
- International leaders called on all sides to seize this opportunity for peace, with United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urging action and European partners, including France President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, backing swift implementation.
- The nearly two-year conflict has left nearly 66,300 Palestinians dead and Gaza under an 18-year blockade; Trump set a Sunday 6 pm deadline and urged quick action on October 3.
