The United States has unveiled a new peace plan for Gaza, which has received a welcome from leaders in both Europe and the Middle East. President Donald Trump, in presenting the proposal, issued a warning to Hamas to accept its terms, stating that the organization would have no future role in governing Gaza. The plan outlines US support for Israel to “finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas” should the group reject or fail to adhere to the proposal, a sentiment also expressed by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
Key components of the US plan include a provision for the exchange of remains, specifically 15 deceased Gazans for every Israeli hostage remains released. It also addresses the future governance of Gaza and features a significant “economic development plan” aimed at rebuilding the region, encouraging residents to stay and contribute to its future. The document notably leaves open the possibility of an eventual Palestinian state. According to a Palestinian source familiar with the ceasefire negotiations, Qatari and Egyptian officials have delivered the White House’s proposal to Hamas representatives in Doha.
