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

Assuming the two parties consent to a specific series of requirements, the end of fighting will be accompanied by the liberation of all individuals held by Hamas, including deceased and living, “in under three days” of Israel’s leadership formally approving the agreement.

To reciprocate the freeing of captives, Israeli authorities would release 250 Palestinians currently serving indefinite prison terms and an additional 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza apprehended after the hostilities erupted on 7 October 2023 after the lethal assault by Hamas on Israel.

In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose body is returned, Israel will return the corpses of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

This proposal does not mandate a total Israeli retreat ahead of the captive release. On the contrary, Israeli forces would withdraw to an mutually accepted border, inside of the Gaza area, to prepare for a captive liberation.

The proposal states that every military action, encompassing air strikes and shelling, will be halted in the course of the release process and battle lines will be maintained until “requirements are satisfied for the complete staged withdrawal”.

Once each detainee are released, clemency will be awarded to members of Hamas – the Islamist military group that the Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, has consistently pledged to eradicate – who agree to harmonious living and to disarm themselves.

People who desire to depart Gaza will be provided with protected movement to states who have agreed to receive them.

This twenty-point proposal envisages Gaza as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that presents no a threat to neighboring countries”. Furthermore, it states the area will be “redeveloped for the benefit of the Gaza residents, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Vitally, and opposing the outlook of certain the far-right allies of Netanyahu, Israel will not occupy or incorporate the territory, which was the site of 21 Israeli settlements ahead of their inhabitants were withdrawn in the year 2005.

Furthermore, not any person be forced to leave Gaza, the proposal assures. Individuals who wish to leave will be allowed to do so without restriction and granted reentry.

The Hamas organization will not be allowed any involvement, “in any capacity”, in the future administration of the territory.

Trump Encourages Delegates to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as They Assemble in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Negotiations

Donald J. Trump has encouraged representatives of Hamas and Israel meeting in Egypt for key negotiations aimed at halting the Israeli conflict in Gaza to “move fast,” adding, in statements on Sunday morning, that there had been “extremely constructive” conversations.

The American leader stated:

There were highly favorable talks with Hamas representatives, and Countries from all over the World (Arab and Muslim nations, among others) this weekend, to free the captives, halt the conflict in the Gaza region but, even more significantly, ultimately secure long sought PEACE in the Middle East.

These discussions have been extremely effective, and advancing swiftly. Specialist groups will reconvene this Monday, in Egypt, to tackle and refine the remaining specifics. Sources indicate that the initial stage should be completed this week, and I am asking everyone to ACCELERATE PROGRESS.

America’s representative Witkoff is slated to attend the discussions, as per sources in Israel, together with representatives from Israel and a Palestinian delegation chaired by Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy head of the administrative wing of the Hamas movement.

Khalil al-Hayya is expected to meet with intermediaries from Egyptian and Qatari officials in Cairo on Monday morning, before talks in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh.

Nevertheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, the strategic affairs minister Minister Dermer, is slated to attend discussions later this week, subject to developments in the talks, based on three Israeli officials.

Positive outlook on a potential ceasefire has increased globally, with leaders from the West and Arab nations urging both Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. During Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Chancellor Merz, spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and showed approval for the Trump proposal, calling it “the best chance for peace”, based on a readout.
