“We are having very inspired and productive discussions with the Middle Eastern Community concerning Gaza,” Trump said via Truth Social.
“All of the Countries within the Region are involved, Hamas is very much aware of these discussions, and Israel has been informed at all levels, including Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu,” he continued.
“Everyone is excited to put this period of Death and Darkness behind them. It is an Honor to be a part of this Negotiation. We must get the Hostages back, and get a PERMANENT AND LONGLASTING PEACE!”
On Tuesday, the Trump administration presented a 21-point plan to Arab leaders on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly annual general debate in New York, which would see a prompt release of all the remaining hostages, the transfer of power in the Strip to an intermediary Arab-led government, and the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Palestinian enclave, according to CNN.
Saudi-based broadcaster Al Arabiya said it obtained a copy of the plan, citing several clauses from it on Friday.
These include:
- An immediate end to the war in Gaza.
- The unconditional release of all hostages.
- The release of thousands of Palestinian terrorists, including 100 to 200 prisoners with blood on their hands.
- The resumption of unrestricted aid delivered into Gaza by international organizations and the U.N., including the closure of the U.S.-based Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
- The disarmament of Hamas by an international, Arab security force within a time-bound framework. Hamas terrorists who agree to these terms will receive safe passage to exit the Strip.
- The international force will temporarily administer civilian issues in Gaza, with the Palestinian Authority eventually taking over.
- The reconstruction of the Gaza Strip over a five-year time span, led by an international and Arab consortium.
- The United States will have guarantees in place that Israel does not apply sovereignty over Judea and Samaria, with both Israeli and Palestinians agreeing to resume negotiations over a peace agreement that would end the decades-old conflict.
Other reports stated that the plan would move ahead even if Hamas rejects its terms, with the majority of the 21 points proceeding in terror-free zones conquered by the Israel Defense Forces.
The plan moreover reportedly emphasizes the de-radicalization of the Palestinian population, with the Palestinian Authority undergoing significant reform.
U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff said on Wednesday that “We had a very productive session,” referring to a meeting of an American delegation with Arab leaders in New York, according to CNN.
“We presented what we call the Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Mideast, in Gaza,” Witkoff added.
“I think it addresses Israeli concerns, as well as the concerns of all the neighbors in the region,” he continued. “And we’re hopeful, and I might say even confident, that in the coming days, we’ll be able to announce some sort of breakthrough.”
Netanyahu is slated to visit the White House on Monday. Discussions on the plan are expected to be high on the agenda.
I especially like the release of thousands of Palestinian terrorists, including those with ‘blood’ on their hands. Lovely all of it.
The past certainly gives us no indication why this could not begin, say, tomorrow.
Nuts! We live in a rule where the insane are in charge.
Any hostile attempt to slow or stop Israel‘s present military actions in Israel to wipe out Hamas and its (indistinguishable) Gazan supporters must simply be ignored. They must not be permitted to survive or make any kind of “deal”. I am concerned that Trump has been corrupted.
(Correction: “military actions in Gaza and Israel”)
Why release thousands? What? Why turn it over to the corrupt PA? You think Trump is corrupted? Look at Witkoff (witless). I would like to know the source of funds in his bank account.
A terrible plan. There is no difference between Hamas and the other Arabs. Israel needs to face reality. Remove the Arabs from Gaza one way or another. NO OTHER WAY – period. Once the Gazans are removed, other plans become irrelevant.
Trump is attempting to betray Israel. Israel should proceed without delay or obstruction to destroy Hamas and Gazan muslim monsters. If the surviving Israeli hostages are suddenly delivered, along with the bodies of the dead ones, and all of Hamas delivers themselves to the IDF, then once Israel is satisfied this is the case, it can proceed to deport them to wherever they would like to go. However, NO imprisoned Muslim monsters should be released. There should be NO OTHER deals.
