On Monday evening, the White House announced U.S. President Donald Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza.
The plan includes 20 points, among them:

Gaza will become free of extremism and terrorism, posing no threat to its neighbors.
Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of its residents, who have suffered enough.
If both parties agree to this proposal, the war will end immediately. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed line in preparation for the release of hostages. During this period, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions for a full phased withdrawal are met.
Within 72 hours of Israel’s public acceptance of the agreement, all hostages will be returned, alive or dead.
Once all hostages are released, Israel will free 250 prisoners serving life sentences, as well as 1,700 Gaza residents detained after October 7, 2023—including all women and children held in that context. For each Israeli hostage whose remains are returned, Israel will hand over the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.
After the release of all hostages, Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence and disarmament will be granted amnesty. Hamas members wishing to leave Gaza will be offered safe passage to receiving countries.
Upon acceptance of the agreement, full aid will immediately flow into Gaza. At a minimum, aid levels will match those outlined in the January 19, 2025 humanitarian agreement, covering infrastructure rehabilitation (water, electricity, sanitation), restoration of hospitals and bakeries, and the entry of equipment needed for rubble removal and road clearance.
Aid distribution and entry into Gaza will proceed without interference from either side, managed by the UN and its agencies, the Red Crescent, and other international institutions unaffiliated with either party. The Rafah crossing, in both directions, will operate under the same mechanism established in the January 19, 2025 agreement.
Gaza will be administered under a temporary transitional government formed by a non-political Palestinian technocratic committee responsible for public services and municipal management. This committee will include qualified Palestinians and international experts, under the supervision of a new international transitional authority, the “Peace Council,” chaired by President Donald Trump, alongside other leaders and heads of state, including former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will provide the framework and manage funding for Gaza’s redevelopment until the Palestinian Authority completes its reform program and can safely and effectively regain control. Governance will follow best international standards to serve Gaza’s residents and attract investment.
Trump’s economic development plan will rebuild and revitalize Gaza through a committee of experts who contributed to the rise of successful modern Middle Eastern cities. Thoughtful investment proposals and development ideas prepared by well-intentioned international groups will be considered, linking security and governance frameworks to facilitate investment and create jobs, opportunities, and hope for Gaza’s future.
A special economic zone will be created with preferential tariffs and entry terms negotiated with participating countries.
No one will be forced to leave Gaza. Those who wish to depart may do so freely, and those who leave will retain the right to return. The plan encourages residents to stay and help build a better Gaza.
Hamas and other factions will agree to play no role in governing Gaza, directly or indirectly. All military, terrorist, and offensive infrastructure—including tunnels and weapons production facilities—will be destroyed and not rebuilt. Disarmament will be overseen by independent monitors, involving the permanent dismantling of weapons through a mutually agreed process, supported by an internationally funded buyback and reintegration program, and fully verified by independent observers. The new Gaza will commit to building a prosperous economy and peaceful coexistence with its neighbors.
Regional partners will provide guarantees to ensure Hamas and other factions comply with their commitments and that the new Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.
The U.S., with Arab and international partners, will establish a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) for immediate deployment in Gaza. This force will train and support vetted Palestinian police in Gaza and consult with Jordan and Egypt, which have extensive expertise in this area. This will form the foundation of long-term internal security. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas alongside newly trained Palestinian police. Preventing arms smuggling into Gaza and ensuring the safe, rapid flow of goods for reconstruction and recovery will be priorities. A dispute resolution mechanism will be established between the two sides.
Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As Israeli forces establish control and stability, they will withdraw based on benchmarks and timelines tied to disarmament, agreed upon by the Israel Defense Forces, Palestinian security forces, guarantors, and the U.S., with the goal of ensuring Gaza’s security and preventing it from threatening Israel, Egypt, or their citizens. In practice, the IDF will gradually transfer occupied areas of Gaza to Palestinian security forces under an agreement with the transitional authority until full withdrawal, except for a security perimeter that will remain until Gaza is fully secured against renewed terrorist threats.
If Hamas delays or rejects the proposal, the above measures, including expanded aid, will still be implemented in terrorism-free areas handed over by the IDF to Palestinian security forces.
An interfaith dialogue initiative will be launched, promoting values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence, aiming to change perceptions among Palestinians and Israelis by highlighting the benefits of peace.
As Gaza’s redevelopment advances and the Palestinian Authority’s reform program is faithfully implemented, conditions may finally emerge for a credible pathway toward Palestinian self-determination and statehood—recognized as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.
The United States will facilitate dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence.
