Trump Urges Negotiators to ‘Act Quickly’ as Discussions Start in Egypt
What’s in Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Resolution Strategy’ for Gaza?
Assuming each faction agree to a detailed list of conditions, the end of fighting will be paired with the freeing of all captives from Israel, including deceased and living, “in under three days” of Israel’s leadership formally approving the deal.
As a trade for the release of hostages, the Israeli state would let go a group of 250 Palestinians at present completing lengthy incarcerations and 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza territory detained since the hostilities erupted on October 7, 2023 following Hamas’s deadly attack on Israeli soil.
For each Israeli hostage whose remains are handed over, Israeli officials will release the bodies of 15 Palestinian fatalities.
The strategy does not require a total Israeli retreat ahead of the captive release. On the contrary, the Israeli army would retreat to an established boundary, within Gaza, to prepare for a hostage release.
This initiative says that every military action, encompassing air strikes and shelling, will be suspended during the liberation procedure and front lines will stay fixed until “terms are fulfilled for the phased full withdrawal”.
After each detainee are released, clemency will be granted to individuals associated with Hamas – the militant Islamic organization that the premier of Israel, PM Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eradicate – who accept peaceful coexistence and to disarm themselves.
People who wish to leave the Gaza region will be offered secure transit to nations who have agreed to receive them.
This twenty-point proposal foresees Gaza as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that poses zero a threat to its neighbours”. Additionally, it says the territory will be “redeveloped for the welfare of the Gaza residents, who have experienced immense suffering”.
Vitally, and in defiance of the perspective of a few of Netanyahu’s extremist political allies, the Israeli government will avoid occupying or annex the territory, which was the location of 21 communities established by Israel before their residents were evacuated in the year 2005.
Furthermore, not any person be compelled to depart the Gaza region, the proposal assures. People who want to exit will be authorized to do so without restriction and permitted to return.
Hamas will not be permitted any role, “in any form”, in the future governance of the area.
Donald Trump Urges Delegates to ‘Act Quickly’ as They Assemble in Egypt for Gaza Talks
Donald Trump has called on Hamas and Israeli negotiators gathering in the nation of Egypt for crucial talks aimed at halting the war led by Israel in the Gaza Strip to “accelerate progress,” remarking, in comments on the day of Sunday, that there had been “extremely constructive” conversations.
The American leader commented:
We have had highly favorable negotiations with Hamas, and Nations from around the globe (Arab and Muslim nations, among others) over the weekend, to liberate the detainees, halt the conflict in the Gaza region but, even more significantly, at last achieve long-desired stability in the Middle Eastern region.
These discussions have been extremely effective, and proceeding rapidly. Specialist groups will again meet on Monday, in Egypt, to tackle and refine the remaining specifics. Sources indicate that the initial stage will likely finish this week, and I am urging all parties to ACT QUICKLY.
The US envoy Witkoff is expected to join the negotiations, according to sources in Israel, alongside Israel’s negotiators and a delegation from Palestine chaired by Khalil al-Hayya, the deputy head of the administrative wing of Hamas.
The Hamas official is expected to confer with intermediaries from Egypt and Qatar in Cairo, Egypt this morning, prior to discussions in the Egyptian tourist destination of Sharm el-Sheikh.
Nevertheless, Israel’s chief negotiator, the strategic affairs minister Dermer, is anticipated to participate in discussions in the coming days, pending progress in the talks, based on three Israeli officials.
Optimism about a possible truce has increased across the world, with western and Arab leaders pressuring both Hamas and Israel to finalize a settlement. On Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, contacted Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and voiced backing for the Trump initiative, labeling it as “the best chance for resolution”, based on a summary.
