Details of Donald Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Resolution Strategy’ for Gaza?

In the event that both sides consent to a comprehensive set of conditions, the cessation of hostilities will be accompanied by the release of all captives from Israel, whether deceased or surviving, “in under three days” of Israel officially endorsing the deal.

As a trade for the liberation of detainees, the Israeli state would let go 250 Palestinians presently undergoing lengthy incarcerations and 1,700 more Palestinians in Gaza territory detained since the war began on the 7th of October, 2023 subsequent to Hamas’s deadly attack on Israeli soil.

For each Israeli national held hostage whose remains are handed over, Israeli officials will hand back the bodies of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

This proposal does not mandate a full Israeli withdrawal prior to the captive release. Instead, Israel’s military would withdraw to an established boundary, inside of the Gaza area, to make arrangements for a captive liberation.

The proposal indicates that all military operations, such as bombing and artillery fire, will be halted throughout the exchange operation and battle lines will remain frozen until “terms are fulfilled for the gradual total pullout”.

When each detainee are freed, clemency will be granted to Hamas affiliates – the Islamist military group that the Israeli PM, Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eliminate – who accept peaceful coexistence and to decommission their weapons.

Those who want to exit Gaza will be provided with safe passage to countries who have consented to accept them.

This twenty-point proposal envisages the Gaza Strip as “an area free from radicalization and terror that presents no any danger to adjacent states”. Furthermore, it states the region will be “redeveloped for the advantage of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough”.

Vitally, and opposing the perspective of certain Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, Israel will not occupy or annex the land, which was home to 21 settlements from Israel before their populace was removed in 2005.

Furthermore, not anyone be compelled to depart Gaza territory, the strategy guarantees. Those who want to exit will be authorized to do so freely and permitted to return.

Hamas as an entity will not be allowed any role, “directly or indirectly”, in the future governance of the area.

Donald Trump Calls on Delegates to ‘Move Fast’ as They Meet in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Negotiations

President Trump has encouraged Hamas and Israeli negotiators meeting in Egypt for vital discussions targeting ending the Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip to “accelerate progress,” remarking, in remarks on Sunday, that there had been “very positive” conversations.

The US president stated:

We have had extremely constructive negotiations with Hamas, and States from around the globe (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) this weekend, to free the captives, halt the conflict in the Gaza region but, more importantly, finally have long sought stability in the Middle East.

These talks have been extremely effective, and advancing swiftly. Specialist groups will reconvene this Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to work through and refine the final details. It has been reported that the opening segment is expected to conclude this week, and I am requesting all parties to ACCELERATE PROGRESS.

America’s representative Steve Witkoff is slated to attend the discussions, based on reports from Israel, together with representatives from Israel and a Palestinian delegation headed by Khalil al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the political bureau of Hamas.

Khalil al-Hayya is reportedly due to have discussions with intermediaries from Egypt and Qatar in Cairo, Egypt on Monday morning, before discussions in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh.

Nevertheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, strategic affairs minister Minister Dermer, is expected to join talks in the coming days, subject to developments in the discussions, according to three Israeli officials.

Optimism about a prospective cessation of hostilities has escalated globally, with western and Arab leaders encouraging Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement. During Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, contacted Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and voiced backing for the Trump plan, labeling it as “the best chance for resolution”, as per a summary.
