Leaders in Middle East and Europe welcome Trump's Gaza peace plan
- On Monday, US President Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point Gaza peace plan involving a transitional Board of Peace headed by himself with Tony Blair to oversee Gaza's redevelopment.
- The plan aims to end Hamas' rule since 2007 by disarming the group, with Muslim-majority nations including Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Qatar, and Indonesia expressing confidence in Trump's peace efforts.
- It promises a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, Israeli release of 1,700 Gazans and 250 prisoners after hostages are freed, plus Palestinian elections and eventual statehood subject to reforms.
- The leader of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer, encouraged Hamas to accept the proposal to bring an end to the suffering, while Kaja Kallas, the EU's foreign policy chief, described it as a chance for enduring peace.
- According to the White House, Israeli military operations will persist in Gaza unless Hamas promptly accepts the proposal, though Hamas has yet to provide a response. Meanwhile, some Gaza residents remain skeptical, viewing the plan as a deceptive tactic aimed at securing the release of hostages.
