Donald Trump Urges Representatives to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as Discussions Start in the Egyptian Republic

Details of Donald Trump’s Twenty-Point ‘Resolution Strategy’ for the Gaza Strip?

Assuming the two parties consent to a comprehensive set of requirements, the end of fighting will be accompanied by the liberation of all Israeli hostages, including deceased and living, “in under three days” of Israel formally approving the deal.

In return for the release of hostages, Israel would release 250 individuals of Palestinian origin at present completing lengthy incarcerations and 1,700 more Palestinians in the Gaza region detained since the conflict started on October 7, 2023 subsequent to the fatal Hamas offensive on the nation of Israel.

In exchange for every Israeli national held hostage whose body is returned, the Israeli side will hand back the corpses of 15 deceased Palestinians.

This proposal does not necessitate a full Israeli withdrawal ahead of the hostage liberation. Rather, Israeli forces would withdraw to an agreed upon line, inside Gaza’s territory, to prepare for a prisoner exchange.

The plan says that every military action, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended throughout the release process and battle lines will remain frozen until “terms are fulfilled for the gradual total pullout”.

When each detainee are freed, clemency will be granted to members of Hamas – the armed Islamist faction that Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has frequently sworn to destroy – who consent to non-violent cohabitation and to decommission their weapons.

People who want to exit Gaza will be offered safe passage to nations who have approved their entry.

The 20-point plan foresees Gaza as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a risk to adjacent states”. In a separate point, it states the area will be “revitalized for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough”.

Importantly, and contrary to the vision of certain Netanyahu’s extremist political allies, Israel’s leadership will refrain from occupying or take over the land, which was the site of 21 settlements from Israel before their inhabitants were withdrawn in 2005.

Nor will anyone be forced to leave Gaza, the strategy guarantees. People who wish to leave will be authorized to do so without restriction and permitted to return.

Hamas will be prohibited from any involvement, “directly or indirectly”, in the future governance of the region.

Donald Trump Calls on Negotiators to ‘Move Fast’ as They Gather in Egypt for Gaza Talks

President Trump has encouraged delegates from Hamas and Israel meeting in the nation of Egypt for key negotiations targeting ending the Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip to “accelerate progress,” remarking, in remarks on Sunday morning, that there had been “extremely constructive” conversations.

The US president commented:

There were very positive negotiations with the Hamas organization, and Nations from all over the World (Arab and Muslim nations, among others) during the weekend, to free the captives, halt the conflict in the Gaza region but, of greater importance, at last achieve long-awaited peace in the area of the Middle East.

These discussions have been extremely effective, and proceeding rapidly. Expert delegations will again meet this Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to address and refine the last points. I am told that the opening segment should be completed within the week, and I am requesting all parties to MOVE FAST.

The United States delegate Envoy Witkoff is slated to attend the discussions, according to reports from Israel, in addition to Israeli delegates and a delegation from Palestine led by Khalil al-Hayya, the assistant leader of the political bureau of Hamas.

Al-Hayya is scheduled to meet with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in Cairo, Egypt on Monday morning, before discussions in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El-Sheikh.

Nonetheless, Israel’s top delegate, Minister of Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer, is slated to attend discussions toward the end of the week, pending advancements in the negotiations, based on several officials from Israel.

Optimism about a prospective cessation of hostilities has escalated across the world, with officials from Western and Arab countries encouraging both Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. This past Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, called Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu and voiced backing for the Trump proposal, calling it “the best chance for peace”, according to a official statement.
