Netanyahu Celebrates Diplomatic Victory

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed optimism following his White House meeting with President Trump, where Israel formally accepted the peace proposal. In a video posted to social media, Netanyahu highlighted what he viewed as a significant achievement.

“Now the whole world, including the Arab and Muslim world, is pressuring Hamas to accept the terms that we created together with Trump, to bring back all the hostages — the living and the dead — while the IDF stays in the majority of the Strip. Who would have believed it?!”

— PM Benjamin Netanyahu

Netanyahu reportedly secured important last-minute modifications to the proposal regarding the scope and timeline of IDF withdrawal from Gaza, as well as provisions concerning Hamas disarmament. These changes were seen as crucial concessions for Israeli domestic politics.

Trump’s 20-Point Comprehensive Plan

The White House released Trump’s detailed “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict” during a joint press conference with Netanyahu. The plan includes immediate ceasefire provisions, hostage release mechanisms, humanitarian aid guarantees, and a long-term vision for Gaza’s governance and economic development.

Central to the proposal is the release of all Israeli hostages within 72 hours of Israel’s public acceptance, followed by Israel releasing 250 life-sentence prisoners and 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, 2023. The plan also establishes a “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump himself, with Former Prime Minister Tony Blair among its members, to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction and governance transition.

European and Middle Eastern Support

Beyond the eight signatory nations, European and other Middle Eastern leaders have also welcomed the peace initiative. President Trump has issued stern warnings to Hamas to accept the proposal, emphasizing that the international community stands united in support of the framework.

The plan proposes establishing an International Stabilization Force to deploy in Gaza, working alongside vetted Palestinian police forces and consulting with Jordan and Egypt, who have extensive regional security experience.
