Donald Trump has proposed a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza, rebuild the region, and ensure lasting peace. The plan focuses on deradicalizing Gaza, delivering humanitarian aid, promoting economic development, and creating a secure and peaceful environment for both Palestinians and Israelis. It also outlines steps for hostage release, temporary governance, and long-term political dialogue.
20-Points
- Gaza will become free from terrorism and will no longer threaten its neighbors.
- Gaza will be rebuilt to improve the lives of its people, who have suffered greatly.
- If both sides agree, the war will end immediately. Israeli forces will pause military operations and freeze battle lines to allow hostages to be released safely.
- Within 72 hours of Israel agreeing publicly, all hostages, alive or deceased, will be returned.
- After all hostages are released, Israel will free 250 life-sentence prisoners and 1,700 Gazans detained since 7 October 2023, including all women and children. For every Israeli casualty returned, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.
- Hamas members who commit to peace and give up weapons will receive amnesty. Those who want to leave Gaza will be given safe passage.
- Once the agreement is accepted, humanitarian aid will flow into Gaza immediately, including rebuilding hospitals, bakeries, water, electricity, sewage systems, clearing rubble, and opening roads.
- Aid will be delivered without interference from Israel or Gaza through the UN, Red Crescent, and other neutral international agencies. The Rafah crossing will be opened under the same neutral mechanism.
- Gaza will be governed temporarily by a neutral, professional Palestinian committee supervised by an international “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump, with other global leaders. This body will manage funding and oversee redevelopment until the Palestinian Authority is ready to take control.
- A Trump-led economic development plan will bring investment, create jobs, and rebuild Gaza by consulting experts who have developed successful cities in the Middle East.
- A special economic zone will be created with favorable trade terms for participating countries.
- No one will be forced to leave Gaza. Those who want to leave can do so freely, and everyone will have the option to return.
- Hamas and other factions will not govern Gaza in any form. All military infrastructure, tunnels, and weapons facilities will be destroyed and permanently decommissioned under international supervision.
- Regional partners will guarantee that Gaza remains peaceful and poses no threat to neighbors or its own people.
- An International Stabilisation Force (ISF) will be deployed to train Palestinian police, secure borders, and prevent weapons smuggling. Israel and Egypt will cooperate with the ISF to maintain security.
- Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. IDF forces will gradually withdraw as the ISF establishes security, following agreed standards and milestones.
- If Hamas rejects or delays the proposal, aid and redevelopment will still proceed in areas handed over to the ISF.
- An interfaith dialogue will be promoted to encourage tolerance, peace, and better understanding between Palestinians and Israelis.
- As Gaza is redeveloped and Palestinian reforms progress, steps may be taken toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
- The U.S. will facilitate dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to establish a long-term political path for peace and prosperity.
