Trump’s Plan for Gaza Is Lacking, but It Could Work
The plan demands Hamas release hostages within 72 hours and establishes a transition government excluding Hamas, backed by international aid and security forces.
- The plan sets a 72-hour deadline for Hamas to return remaining hostages taken on October 7, 2023, and proposes Gaza be run by a technocratic Palestinian committee under a Board of Peace headed by Donald Trump.
- Implementation hinges on a prisoner-and-hostage exchange that includes 250 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans detained since October 7, while Hamas renouncing violence triggers amnesty and aid flows through the United Nations and Red Crescent.
- The plan has attracted backing from several Western leaders including Britain and France, while Qatar's prime minister and Egypt's intelligence chief briefed Hamas as Netanyahu and Trump met, and Turkey's spy chief flew to Doha the next day.
- The plan pressures Palestinians with a short acceptance window and conditional benefits, and Donald Trump warned Hamas it will 'pay in hell' if it rejects, while the White House reassured Qatar on Monday.
- Observers warn the plan undermines Palestinian sovereignty by sidelining their agency, absolving Israel of accountability, and placing peace burdens on Palestinians, while doubts persist over U.S. Agency for International Development and State Department reconstruction capacity.
