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

Details of Donald Trump’s 20-Point ‘Ceasefire Proposal’ for the Gaza Strip?

Provided that the two parties consent to a specific series of conditions, the halt to conflict will be accompanied by the release of all Israeli hostages, including deceased and living, “in under three days” of Israel publicly accepting the deal.

In return for the liberation of detainees, Israeli authorities would release 250 Palestinians currently serving lengthy incarcerations and 1,700 more Palestinians in Gaza held since the war began on the 7th of October, 2023 after the lethal assault by Hamas on Israel.

In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose remains are handed over, the Israeli side will return the corpses of 15 deceased Palestinians.

This proposal does not require a full Israeli withdrawal prior to the release of the hostages. Rather, Israel’s military would pull back to an agreed upon line, within Gaza’s territory, to get ready for a hostage release.

The proposal says that all armed activities, encompassing air strikes and shelling, will be paused during the exchange operation and front lines will remain frozen until “requirements are satisfied for the complete staged withdrawal”.

After all hostages are liberated, clemency will be granted to members of Hamas – the Islamist military group that the Israeli PM, Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to destroy – who consent to harmonious living and to surrender their arms.

Those who desire to depart the Gaza region will be given secure transit to nations who have approved their entry.

The 20-point plan envisions the Gaza Strip as “an area free from radicalization and terror that does not pose a threat to neighboring countries”. Additionally, it states the region will be “revitalized for the welfare of the Gaza residents, who have suffered more than enough”.

Importantly, and contrary to the outlook of certain the far-right allies of Netanyahu, Israel’s leadership will not occupy or annex the territory, which was the site of 21 settlements from Israel prior to their inhabitants were withdrawn in 2005.

Additionally, no any person be forced to leave Gaza territory, the plan promises. Those who wish to leave will be allowed to do so without restriction and permitted to return.

Hamas as an entity will be prohibited from any involvement, “in any form”, in the future administration of the territory.

Donald Trump Urges Delegates to ‘Act Quickly’ as They Assemble in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Negotiations

Donald Trump has encouraged representatives of Hamas and Israel meeting in the nation of Egypt for crucial talks aimed at ending Israel’s war in Gaza to “move fast,” adding, in statements on the day of Sunday, that there had been “very positive” talks.

President Trump said:

There have been extremely constructive discussions with Hamas representatives, and States from around the globe (Arab, Muslim, and everyone else) during the weekend, to free the captives, end the War in the Gaza region but, more importantly, finally have long-desired peace in the Middle Eastern region.

These talks have been very successful, and advancing swiftly. The technical teams will again meet on Monday, in Egypt, to tackle and finalize the remaining specifics. It has been reported that the opening segment will likely finish this week, and I am asking each participant to ACCELERATE PROGRESS.

The US envoy Envoy Witkoff is slated to attend the talks, as per sources in Israel, in addition to representatives from Israel and a delegation from Palestine headed by Al-Hayya, the vice chairman of the administrative wing of the Hamas movement.

Khalil al-Hayya is expected to confer with intermediaries from Qatar and Egypt in Cairo, Egypt on Monday morning, prior to talks in the Egyptian resort town of Sharm El-Sheikh.

However, Israel’s chief negotiator, Minister of Strategic Affairs Minister Dermer, is slated to attend discussions later this week, depending on progress in the talks, according to three Israeli officials.

Positive outlook on a potential ceasefire has increased worldwide, with western and Arab leaders urging both Hamas and Israel to come to a deal. This past Sunday, the German chancellor, Friedrich Merz, spoke with Israeli PM Netanyahu and showed approval for the Trump plan, labeling it as “the optimal opportunity for resolution”, according to a official statement.
