US EditionGaza Gambit: Peace Plan or Prelude to Escalation?
The plan proposes a demilitarized Gaza with international aid and governance under a technocratic Palestinian committee, aiming for self-determination without immediate statehood, officials said.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point outline for Gaza, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed to the plan at a White House press conference, with the White House saying Israel accepted it.

- The plan proposes that Hamas disarm within 72 hours, release all captives, and accept phased Israeli troop withdrawal, with a technocratic Palestinian committee under international supervision.
- But Netanyahu insisted Israeli forces will remain in most of Gaza, while far-right ministers oppose large prisoner releases, complicating Cabinet approval as mediators warn Hamas this may be its last chance.
- So far, no country has formally agreed to contribute ISF soldiers, though thousands could come from the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Azerbaijan, while Saudi Arabia resists support without Palestinian statehood.

Will Trump’s plan push Iran to attack Israel?
Alongside examining the viability of Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza, it is worth considering its implications for Iran and, accordingly, Tehran's expected response if the plan is implemented. On the surface, the proposal appears to improve Israel's strategic position: it is supposed to secure the release of all hostages from Hamas, dismantle the terrorist organization's weapons infrastructure, and seemingly eliminate the need for Isr…
