Donald Trump Calls on Representatives to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as Meeting Commence in the Egyptian Republic

Details of Donald Trump’s Comprehensive ‘Ceasefire Proposal’ for the Gaza Strip?

Provided that both sides accept a specific series of conditions, the end of fighting will be paired with the liberation of all captives from Israel, both dead and alive, “within 72 hours” of Israel’s leadership formally approving the deal.

As a trade for the liberation of detainees, Israeli authorities would free 250 Palestinians at present completing life sentences and 1,700 Palestinians in the Gaza region apprehended after the conflict started on the 7th of October, 2023 subsequent to the lethal assault by Hamas on the nation of Israel.

For each Israeli hostage whose body is returned, the Israeli side will release the remains of 15 Palestinian fatalities.

The strategy does not necessitate a total Israeli retreat prior to the hostage liberation. Instead, Israel’s military would retreat to an agreed upon line, inside of the Gaza area, to make arrangements for a captive liberation.

This initiative states that every military action, including air strikes and shelling, will be halted throughout the exchange operation and combat positions will stay fixed until “requirements are satisfied for the complete staged withdrawal”.

After each detainee are freed, clemency will be given to members of Hamas – the Islamist military group that Israel’s prime minister, Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to eradicate – who accept harmonious living and to disarm themselves.

Those who wish to leave Gaza territory will be offered protected movement to nations who have consented to accept them.

This twenty-point proposal envisages Gaza as “a region cleared of extremism and terrorism that does not pose any danger to adjacent states”. Additionally, it states the region will be “revitalized for the welfare of the Gaza residents, who have suffered more than enough”.

Crucially, and opposing the perspective of certain Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, Israel will refrain from occupying or incorporate the land, which was the location of 21 Israeli settlements prior to their residents were evacuated in 2005.

Additionally, no anyone be compelled to depart Gaza, the strategy guarantees. Those who want to exit will be allowed to do so without hindrance and permitted to return.

The Hamas organization will be prohibited from any involvement, “in any capacity”, in the future administration of the territory.

Donald Trump Urges Negotiators to ‘Accelerate Progress’ as They Gather in the Egyptian Republic for Gaza Talks

Donald Trump has urged representatives of Hamas and Israel meeting in Egypt for crucial talks targeting ending Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip to “act quickly,” adding, in remarks on Sunday morning, that there had been “extremely constructive” conversations.

The US president said:

We have had extremely constructive negotiations with the Hamas organization, and Countries from across the planet (Arab and Muslim nations, among others) during the weekend, to free the captives, halt the conflict in Gaza but, even more significantly, at last achieve long sought peace in the Middle East.

These discussions have been highly productive, and moving quickly. Specialist groups will reconvene Monday, in the Egyptian Republic, to tackle and refine the final details. It has been reported that the first phase is expected to conclude this week, and I am requesting each participant to MOVE FAST.

The US envoy Envoy Witkoff is expected to join the negotiations, as per reports from Israel, in addition to Israeli delegates and a Palestinian group led by Al-Hayya, the deputy head of the political office of Hamas.

Khalil al-Hayya is expected to meet with intermediaries from Egyptian and Qatari officials in Cairo on Monday morning, prior to negotiations in the Egyptian tourist destination of Sharm El-Sheikh.

However, the lead negotiator for Israel, the strategic affairs minister Dermer, is expected to join discussions toward the end of the week, subject to developments in the talks, based on multiple Israeli sources.

Hope regarding a possible truce has increased worldwide, with western and Arab leaders urging both Hamas and Israel to reach an agreement. This past Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, called Israeli PM Netanyahu and showed approval for the Trump plan, describing it as “the most favorable prospect for resolution”, as per a official statement.
