Praise and fury for Trump's Gaza peace deal - but Hamas' first reaction is telling
Netanyahu faces backlash from far-right ministers over Trump’s Gaza peace plan amid efforts to secure hostage returns, with potential early elections looming, analysts say.
- Overnight at the White House, the US President presented a 20-point peace proposal designed to swiftly bring an end to the conflict in Gaza, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- The plan emerged from diplomatic efforts involving Palestinian, Arab, and other key partners and focuses on Palestinian self-determination and Gaza governance by the Palestinian Authority.
- Netanyahu consented to the agreement, which involves freeing 250 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans detained since October 7, while Hamas is expected to free all hostages still in their custody within three days of Israel's public endorsement of the plan.
- Internationally, the plan received wide praise including from foreign Muslim ministers, the Palestinian Authority calling Trump’s efforts sincere, and Australian leaders urging serious engagement and quick implementation.
- The plan's acceptance signals a potential halt to hostilities, humanitarian aid flow, dismantling of Hamas, and movement toward sustainable peace, though skepticism remains among some Israeli politicians and military figures.
