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

In the event that both sides agree to a comprehensive set of conditions, the end of fighting will be followed by the liberation of all individuals held by Hamas, whether deceased or surviving, “within 72 hours” of Israel’s leadership publicly accepting the agreement.

In return for the liberation of detainees, Israeli authorities would let go 250 individuals of Palestinian origin at present completing life sentences and 1,700 more Palestinians in Gaza territory apprehended after the conflict started on 7 October 2023 subsequent to the fatal Hamas offensive on the nation of Israel.

In exchange for every Israeli national held hostage whose remains are handed over, Israel will release the bodies of 15 Palestinians who have died.

The plan does not mandate a complete Israeli pullout ahead of the release of the hostages. Rather, the Israeli army would pull back to an established boundary, inside of Gaza’s territory, to get ready for a prisoner exchange.

The plan says that all armed activities, including bombing and artillery fire, will be paused throughout the release process and battle lines will remain frozen until “requirements are satisfied for the phased full withdrawal”.

After each detainee are liberated, amnesty will be granted to Hamas affiliates – the Islamist military group that Israel’s prime minister, PM Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eradicate – who agree to harmonious living and to surrender their arms.

Individuals who want to exit the Gaza region will be given protected movement to nations who have consented to accept them.

The comprehensive strategy envisions the Gaza Strip as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that poses zero any danger to neighboring countries”. In a separate point, it says the region will be “revitalized for the welfare of the people of Gaza, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Importantly, and in defiance of the vision of certain Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, the Israeli government will avoid occupying or incorporate the region, which was home to 21 communities established by Israel ahead of their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Additionally, no anyone be forced to leave the Gaza region, the plan promises. People who want to exit will be permitted to do so without hindrance and granted reentry.

Hamas will not be allowed any involvement, “in any form”, in the upcoming leadership of the area.

Donald Trump Encourages Negotiators to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as They Meet in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Talks

President Trump has urged delegates from Hamas and Israel meeting in the nation of Egypt for crucial talks targeting halting the war led by Israel in Gaza to “accelerate progress,” remarking, in comments on Sunday, that there had been “very positive” conversations.

President Trump stated:

There were very positive discussions with the Hamas organization, and Nations from all over the World (Arab and Muslim nations, among others) during the weekend, to liberate the detainees, halt the conflict in the Gaza region but, more importantly, ultimately secure long sought PEACE in the Middle East.

These talks have been extremely effective, and moving quickly. Specialist groups will again meet Monday, in Egypt, to work through and clarify the remaining specifics. It has been reported that the first phase will likely finish in the coming days, and I am asking each participant to ACT QUICKLY.

America’s representative Steve Witkoff is expected to join the talks, based on reports from Israel, alongside representatives from Israel and a Palestinian group headed by Khalil al-Hayya, the assistant leader of the political bureau of the Hamas movement.

The Hamas official is expected to meet with mediators from Egyptian and Qatari officials in Cairo on Monday morning, before negotiations in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm el-Sheikh.

Nevertheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, is slated to attend discussions in the coming days, depending on progress in the talks, based on three Israeli officials.

Hope regarding a potential ceasefire has increased globally, with officials from Western and Arab countries urging both Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. On Sunday, the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and showed approval for the Trump plan, calling it “the most favorable prospect for peace”, as per a readout.
