Trump Calls on Negotiators to ‘Move Fast’ as Meeting Start in Egypt
Details of Donald Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Peace Plan’ for Gaza?
Assuming each faction consent to a comprehensive set of terms, the end of fighting will be followed by the freeing of all captives from Israel, whether deceased or surviving, “over a 72-hour period” of Israel publicly accepting the arrangement.
As a trade for the liberation of detainees, the Israeli state would release a group of 250 Palestinians at present completing life sentences and an additional 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza territory apprehended after the hostilities erupted on the 7th of October, 2023 subsequent to the fatal Hamas offensive on Israel.
In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose body is returned, Israeli officials will hand back the bodies of 15 Palestinian fatalities.
This proposal does not mandate a full Israeli withdrawal ahead of the hostage liberation. Rather, Israeli forces would retreat to an mutually accepted border, within Gaza’s territory, to get ready for a hostage release.
This initiative indicates that every military action, including bombing and artillery fire, will be suspended in the course of the release process and combat positions will remain frozen until “conditions are met for the phased full withdrawal”.
Once every captive are liberated, pardon will be granted to individuals associated with Hamas – the militant Islamic organization that the Israeli PM, Benjamin Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eliminate – who accept non-violent cohabitation and to surrender their arms.
Individuals who desire to depart Gaza territory will be offered secure transit to nations who have consented to accept them.
This twenty-point proposal foresees Gaza territory as “an area free from radicalization and terror that does not pose a risk to neighboring countries”. Furthermore, it says the region will be “redeveloped for the welfare of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough”.
Importantly, and in defiance of the vision of certain Netanyahu’s extremist political allies, Israel’s leadership will refrain from occupying or incorporate the territory, which was the site of 21 communities established by Israel ahead of their populace was removed in 2005.
Furthermore, not anyone be forced to leave the Gaza region, the plan promises. People who want to exit will be permitted to do so freely and permitted to return.
The Hamas organization will not be permitted any involvement, “directly or indirectly”, in the upcoming leadership of the area.
Donald Trump Encourages Delegates to ‘Move Fast’ as They Assemble in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Discussions
Donald J. Trump has called on representatives of Hamas and Israel assembling in the nation of Egypt for vital discussions focused on concluding the war led by Israel in Gaza to “act quickly,” stating, in comments on the day of Sunday, that there had been “extremely constructive” conversations.
The American leader commented:
There were very positive talks with the Hamas organization, and Countries from around the globe (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) this weekend, to free the captives, end the War in the Gaza region but, more importantly, finally have long-desired stability in the area of the Middle East.
These talks have been very successful, and proceeding rapidly. Expert delegations will meet once more this Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to address and refine the last points. Sources indicate that the opening segment will likely finish within the week, and I am asking everyone to MOVE FAST.
The US envoy Steve Witkoff is slated to attend the talks, based on reports from Israel, in addition to Israeli delegates and a Palestinian delegation headed by Al-Hayya, the deputy head of the administrative wing of the Hamas movement.
The Hamas official is expected to confer with intermediaries from Egyptian and Qatari officials in the city of Cairo this morning, before negotiations in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El-Sheikh.
However, Israel’s top delegate, strategic affairs minister Dermer, is expected to join talks in the coming days, subject to developments in the negotiations, based on several officials from Israel.
Optimism about a possible truce has grown across the world, with officials from Western and Arab countries pressuring both Hamas and Israel to reach an agreement. During Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Chancellor Merz, spoke with Israeli PM Netanyahu and showed approval for the Trump proposal, labeling it as “the optimal opportunity for peace”, as per a readout.
