Trump’s 20-Point Gaza Plan: Step Forward, Hard Work Ahead
Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan proposes a ceasefire, quick hostage release, phased Israeli withdrawal, Hamas demilitarisation, and Gaza governed by a transitional international-backed technocratic body.
Arab nations and Israel have offered conditional support. Hamas hasn’t agreed. Implementation is critical—each step must follow a sequence, be monitored, and enforced.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu supports the plan but warns Israel may act alone if Hamas refuses. The proposal is more concrete than previous diplomatic efforts, shifting focus to direct outcomes.
Global reactions are cautiously optimistic. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi called it a “significant step forward.” But deep mistrust, political risks, and regional tensions remain.
The plan opens a diplomatic path, but success depends on careful diplomacy, credible oversight, and firm political will.
Trump’s outline marks progress—but peace will require far more than promises. The real challenge now is turning intent into lasting resolution on the ground.
