US EditionTrump’s Gaza peace plan leaves door ajar for Palestinian state
The plan demands Hamas disarmament and hostage release within 48 hours, proposes phased Israeli withdrawal, and outlines international stabilization and reconstruction efforts for Gaza.
- On the sidelines of the UN General Assembly earlier this week, the United States unveiled a detailed 21-point plan to halt Gaza fighting and propose a future Palestinian state.
- Aimed at ending the conflict, the plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, the return of hostages and a phased Israeli withdrawal to stop the Gaza war, US special envoy Steve Witkoff said.
- Security provisions include barring Hamas from governance, establishing a temporary technocratic Palestinian administration, deploying an International Stabilisation Force, and delivering at least 600 aid trucks daily to rebuild Gaza.
- If Israel accepts the terms, all living and deceased hostages would be returned within 48 hours, then Israel would free 250 prisoners serving life terms plus 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, triggering immediate aid flow and war end.
- Looking beyond the immediate deal, the plan links Palestinian statehood to Gaza reconstruction and PA reforms, envisions a five-year redevelopment with an economic zone, and proceeds in terror-free zones despite Hamas rejection, though Israeli officials warn Hamas may refuse to disarm.

Trump drew Arab leaders into a historic peace agreement. Too bad about the one glaring caveat
It was impressive, no question about that: A sitting American president, flanked by the heads of Egypt, Turkey and Qatar — among dozens of other countries — signing a document that contains all the right words and sentiments needed for achieving Middle East peace. But Tuesday’s display in the Egyptian city of Sharm el-Sheikh may be all for naught. For Hamas to disarm and disappear — which is the only way that this two-year nightmare can truly en…
Give (Eternal?) Peace a Chance? – The American Spectator | USA News and Politics
Donald Trump went where no one dared: he said, in effect: stop fighting and start talking, and if you haven’t got the words or the will to talk yet, well then start building, building, and rebuilding, and see where it goes — it may even get you to eternal peace, said he; in any case, it cannot be anywhere worse than where you are, standing amidst rubble in a kill-or-be-killed forever war. And it must be stated here, since we are Americans, that …
A Ceasefire Deal, But Not a Peace Agreement: What Will Happen in Gaza After Hostages Are Released?
