Trump Calls on Representatives to ‘Act Quickly’ as Talks Set to Begin in Egypt
Details of Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Peace Plan’ for Gaza?
In the event that each faction agree to a detailed list of requirements, the cessation of hostilities will be accompanied by the release of all captives from Israel, including deceased and living, “over a 72-hour period” of Israel publicly accepting the agreement.
As a trade for the freeing of captives, Israeli authorities would release a group of 250 Palestinians presently undergoing indefinite prison terms and 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza territory held since the hostilities erupted on 7 October 2023 following the fatal Hamas offensive on Israeli soil.
In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israeli officials will return the remains of 15 deceased Palestinians.
The plan does not require a complete Israeli pullout prior to the hostage liberation. Rather, Israel’s military would retreat to an mutually accepted border, inside Gaza’s territory, to make arrangements for a hostage release.
This initiative says that all military operations, encompassing aerial and artillery bombardment, will be paused throughout the exchange operation and front lines will be maintained until “conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal”.
After each detainee are freed, amnesty will be granted to Hamas affiliates – the Islamist military group that Israel’s prime minister, Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eradicate – who accept harmonious living and to surrender their arms.
Those who wish to leave Gaza territory will be provided with protected movement to states who have consented to accept them.
The comprehensive strategy envisages Gaza territory as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that poses zero a risk to its neighbours”. Furthermore, it says the region will be “reconstructed for the benefit of the inhabitants of Gaza, who have experienced immense suffering”.
Importantly, and contrary to the vision of certain Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, Israel’s leadership will not occupy or annex the region, which was home to 21 Israeli settlements before their residents were evacuated in the year 2005.
Additionally, no any individual be obligated to exit Gaza, the strategy guarantees. People who desire to depart will be authorized to do so freely and permitted to return.
The Hamas organization will not be permitted any role, “in any form”, in the future administration of the territory.
Donald Trump Encourages Negotiators to ‘Act Quickly’ as They Assemble in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Discussions
Donald J. Trump has called on representatives of Hamas and Israel gathering in the nation of Egypt for vital discussions focused on ending the Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip to “act quickly,” adding, in statements on the day of Sunday, that there had been “highly favorable” discussions.
The US president said:
There have been highly favorable talks with Hamas representatives, and Countries from around the globe (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) during the weekend, to liberate the detainees, halt the conflict in the Gaza region but, more importantly, finally have long sought PEACE in the Middle Eastern region.
These talks have been highly productive, and advancing swiftly. Expert delegations will reconvene on Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to tackle and clarify the remaining specifics. I am told that the opening segment will likely finish this week, and I am requesting all parties to MOVE FAST.
The US envoy Witkoff is expected to join the negotiations, as per reports from Israel, together with Israeli delegates and a delegation from Palestine chaired by Al-Hayya, the deputy head of the political office of the Hamas movement.
Khalil al-Hayya is expected to confer with intermediaries from Egyptian and Qatari officials in the city of Cairo today in the morning, before talks in the Egyptian tourist destination of Sharm El-Sheikh.
Nonetheless, Israel’s top delegate, the strategic affairs minister Minister Dermer, is expected to join talks in the coming days, subject to advancements in the negotiations, based on three Israeli officials.
Hope regarding a potential ceasefire has escalated worldwide, with leaders from the West and Arab nations pressuring Israel and Hamas to finalize a settlement. On Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, called Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and showed approval for the Trump proposal, labeling it as “the most favorable prospect for resolution”, as per a summary.
