Several nations, including Canada, Qatar, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, have also welcomed the initiative, alongside India.
Key points of Trump’s Gaza peace plan
According to the New York Times, Trump’s plan calls for an immediate ceasefire and transforming Gaza into a “de-radicalized, terror-free zone” that does not threaten neighboring countries.
It includes proposals for rebuilding Gaza for the benefit of its residents. The plan also requires Israel to withdraw its forces and Hamas to release all Israeli hostages.
Post-conflict, Gaza will be administered under temporary governance by a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee. This body will handle day-to-day public services and municipal operations for Gaza’s residents.
Hamas and all its factions are barred from any form of governance in Gaza, whether direct, indirect, or symbolic, according to the proposal.
