Donald Trump’s plan for Gaza was presented during a conference on Monday, September 29. It has been accepted by Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and has been forwarded to the terrorist organization Hamas as well.

The plan stipulates that Gaza will be “deradicalized” and redeveloped for the benefit of its people.

“If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed-upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal,” the plan says.

The US also outlines its plan for the future governance of Gaza. It says a "technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee" will govern temporarily, “with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, called the Board of Peace," which will be headed by Trump.

Former UK prime minister Tony Blair will be part of the governing body alongside other leaders.

The plan adds that Hamas must have no role in governance, "directly, indirectly, or in any form."

Much of the plan is focused on what the US calls an "economic development plan" to rebuild Gaza. It also says "Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza" and its forces will withdraw from the territory in stages over time.
