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

In the event that each faction consent to a detailed list of conditions, the cessation of hostilities will be paired with the freeing of all Israeli hostages, including deceased and living, “within 72 hours” of the Israeli government publicly accepting the arrangement.

As a trade for the freeing of captives, Israeli authorities would free a group of 250 Palestinians presently undergoing indefinite prison terms and 1,700 more Palestinians in Gaza territory apprehended after the war began on the 7th of October, 2023 subsequent to the fatal Hamas offensive on the nation of Israel.

For each captive from Israel whose remains are handed over, Israeli officials will hand back the corpses of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

The plan does not mandate a full Israeli withdrawal prior to the captive release. Rather, Israeli forces would withdraw to an agreed upon line, inside of Gaza, to get ready for a hostage release.

This initiative indicates that all armed activities, encompassing aerial and artillery bombardment, will be paused during the release process and combat positions will be maintained until “terms are fulfilled for the phased full withdrawal”.

Once each detainee are freed, clemency will be given to members of Hamas – the militant Islamic organization that the Israeli PM, Netanyahu, has frequently sworn to eradicate – who accept non-violent cohabitation and to disarm themselves.

People who wish to leave the Gaza region will be offered safe passage to countries who have approved their entry.

The comprehensive strategy envisions Gaza as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that presents no a threat to adjacent states”. Additionally, it states the territory will be “reconstructed for the advantage of the people of Gaza, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Importantly, and opposing the vision of certain Netanyahu’s extremist political allies, Israel will not occupy or annex the land, which was the site of 21 Israeli settlements ahead of their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Nor will any person be compelled to depart Gaza, the proposal assures. Individuals who desire to depart will be permitted to do so without restriction and allowed to come back.

Hamas as an entity will not be allowed any participation, “in any capacity”, in the upcoming leadership of the territory.

Trump Calls on Representatives to ‘Move Fast’ as They Gather in Egypt for Gaza Negotiations

Donald J. Trump has called on Hamas and Israeli negotiators gathering in the nation of Egypt for crucial talks aimed at ending the war led by Israel in the Gaza Strip to “accelerate progress,” remarking, in statements on Sunday, that there had been “very positive” discussions.

President Trump said:

There have been extremely constructive discussions with Hamas representatives, and Countries from across the planet (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) during the weekend, to release the Hostages, halt the conflict in the Gaza region but, of greater importance, ultimately secure long-awaited peace in the area of the Middle East.

These negotiations have been extremely effective, and proceeding rapidly. Expert delegations will meet once more Monday, in Egypt, to work through and clarify the final details. It has been reported that the first phase should be completed this week, and I am urging all parties to MOVE FAST.

America’s representative Steve Witkoff is anticipated to participate in the discussions, based on reports from Israel, together with Israel’s negotiators and a delegation from Palestine headed by Khalil al-Hayya, the assistant leader of the administrative wing of Hamas.

The Hamas official is reportedly due to confer with intermediaries from Qatar and Egypt in the city of Cairo today in the morning, ahead of discussions in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El-Sheikh.

However, the lead negotiator for Israel, Minister of Strategic Affairs Minister Dermer, is expected to join talks in the coming days, depending on developments in the discussions, according to several officials from Israel.

Optimism about a prospective cessation of hostilities has grown across the world, with western and Arab leaders encouraging both Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. This past Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and voiced backing for the Trump proposal, describing it as “the optimal opportunity for resolution”, as per a readout.
