Donald Trump Urges Negotiators to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as Meeting Commence in the Egyptian Republic

What’s in Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Resolution Strategy’ for the Gaza Strip?

Provided that the two parties consent to a detailed list of requirements, the cessation of hostilities will be accompanied by the release of all Israeli hostages, including deceased and living, “over a 72-hour period” of Israel’s leadership formally approving the arrangement.

In return for the release of hostages, Israeli authorities would release a group of 250 Palestinians presently undergoing indefinite prison terms and 1,700 more Palestinians in Gaza territory detained since the conflict started on the 7th of October, 2023 subsequent to the fatal Hamas offensive on the nation of Israel.

In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose body is returned, Israeli officials will hand back the bodies of 15 deceased Palestinians.

This proposal does not require a complete Israeli pullout prior to the release of the hostages. On the contrary, the Israeli army would pull back to an agreed upon line, inside of the Gaza area, to get ready for a captive liberation.

The proposal indicates that every military action, encompassing air strikes and shelling, will be suspended during the release process and combat positions will stay fixed until “terms are fulfilled for the phased full withdrawal”.

After all hostages are released, clemency will be given to members of Hamas – the armed Islamist faction that the premier of Israel, Netanyahu, has frequently sworn to eliminate – who consent to non-violent cohabitation and to disarm themselves.

Those who wish to leave Gaza territory will be given safe passage to countries who have consented to accept them.

This twenty-point proposal envisages the Gaza Strip as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that does not pose any danger to neighboring countries”. Additionally, it states the territory will be “reconstructed for the advantage of the Gaza residents, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Vitally, and in defiance of the outlook of certain Netanyahu’s extremist political allies, Israel will refrain from occupying or take over the region, which was home to 21 communities established by Israel prior to their inhabitants were withdrawn in the year 2005.

Furthermore, not anyone be obligated to exit the Gaza region, the strategy guarantees. Individuals who wish to leave will be allowed to do so without restriction and granted reentry.

Hamas will not be allowed any participation, “directly or indirectly”, in the future governance of the territory.

Trump Calls on Negotiators to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as They Assemble in Egypt for Gaza Talks

President Trump has called on representatives of Hamas and Israel meeting in the nation of Egypt for key negotiations focused on concluding the Israeli conflict in the Gaza Strip to “accelerate progress,” stating, in remarks on the day of Sunday, that there had been “very positive” talks.

The US president commented:

There have been highly favorable negotiations with the Hamas organization, and Countries from all over the World (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) during the weekend, to liberate the detainees, stop the fighting in the Gaza region but, more importantly, finally have long sought PEACE in the Middle Eastern region.

These talks have been very successful, and proceeding rapidly. Expert delegations will again meet Monday, in Egypt, to address and refine the final details. I am told that the opening segment is expected to conclude in the coming days, and I am asking everyone to MOVE FAST.

The United States delegate Steve Witkoff is expected to join the discussions, as per sources in Israel, together with Israel’s negotiators and a Palestinian delegation led by Khalil al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the political bureau of the Hamas movement.

Khalil al-Hayya is scheduled to have discussions with mediators from Qatar and Egypt in Cairo, Egypt this morning, before talks in the resort city of Egypt of Sharm El Sheikh.

Nonetheless, the lead negotiator for Israel, strategic affairs minister Dermer, is anticipated to participate in discussions toward the end of the week, subject to advancements in the talks, based on multiple Israeli sources.

Positive outlook on a prospective cessation of hostilities has grown worldwide, with leaders from the West and Arab nations encouraging Israel and Hamas to come to a deal. This past Sunday, the Chancellor of Germany, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and expressed support for the Trump plan, labeling it as “the most favorable prospect for peace”, based on a readout.
