The United States has put forward a 21-point peace plan intended to end the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel and to establish a pathway toward a Palestinian state. The core tenets of the plan, as detailed by The Times of Israel, involve an immediate release of hostages, encouraging Palestinians to remain in Gaza, and offering amnesty to those members of Hamas not involved in violence. The US shared this plan with several Arab and Muslim nations during the UN General Assembly. This represents a change in US policy. For Israel, the plan includes the disarmament of Hamas, ending the militarization of Gaza, and the deradicalization of its population. Former President Trump expressed hope for a resolution, indicating that intensive talks have been ongoing to achieve a successful agreement. The plan’s 21 points include de-radicalizing Gaza, reconstructing the Gaza Strip to improve living conditions, an immediate ceasefire, the return of hostages within 48 hours, the return of Palestinian prisoners and bodies, amnesty for peaceful Hamas members, humanitarian aid, a temporary administration for Gaza overseen by an international committee, the creation of a special economic zone, guarantees that residents will not be forced to leave Gaza, the dismantling of Hamas’s military infrastructure, regional forces monitoring security, the establishment of a temporary stabilization force, and assurances that Israel will neither occupy nor annex Gaza. It also suggests a long-term political framework for Israel, Palestine, and the US.
