US EditionWill Trump’s 20-point peace plan end the war in Gaza? ...The Standard podcast
The plan outlines ceasefire, phased Israeli withdrawal, and humanitarian aid but lacks enforcement and key Palestinian involvement, raising doubts about its long-term viability, analysts say.
- On Monday, U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled a 20-point plan at the White House combining a ceasefire-for-hostages deal and international oversight for Gaza.
- Faced with domestic pressure, Netanyahu said the plan meets Israel's military goals and that humanitarian aid would flow once hostages are freed, while David Makovsky noted increasing political fractures.
- Key provisions spell out Hamas must release all hostages within 72 hours, Israel retains buffer zones in Gaza, and a Board of Peace chaired by Trump oversees a technocratic Palestinian committee.
- Analysts warned major uncertainties remain and questioned the plan's durability, noting the odds Hamas would immediately violate terms are nearly 100%, while Trump pledged United States' full backing to Israel if Hamas rejects it.
- Hamas was excluded from negotiations and has rejected core terms, the plan omits a two-state solution, and observers compare disarmament to Northern Ireland’s nine-year process, Muhammad Shehada noted.
