The White House issued a 20-point framework Monday aimed at halting the Gaza conflict that has claimed over 66,000 Palestinian lives. President Donald Trump will chair a Board of Peace alongside former British Prime Minister Tony Blair to oversee temporary governance through a technocratic Palestinian committee. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the proposal while Hamas officials said they had not received written terms.
The plan mandates the immediate cessation of hostilities, with all captives returned within 72 hours and 1,950 Palestinian prisoners freed. Israel must complete a staged withdrawal as an International Stabilization Force deploys to train Palestinian police. Hamas members who accept peace terms would receive amnesty, while the group surrenders its weapons and governance roles.
Gaza would transform into a special economic zone with international investment funding for reconstruction. The territory cannot be annexed by Israel, and residents may leave voluntarily but face no forced displacement. The agreement bars Hamas from any administrative function while destroying military infrastructure and tunnels.
The framework links Palestinian statehood prospects to successful governance reforms and peaceful coexistence. Regional partners would guarantee Hamas compliance as humanitarian aid flows through neutral organizations. The proposal offers weapons buyback programs verified by independent monitors to ensure demilitarization.
