Dr. Somita Chakraborty


On 29th September, 2025, US President Donald Trump held a Press meeting. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was also present there along with President Trump. In the Press meeting President Trump proposed 20 points to bring peace in the Gaza strip. Prime Minister Netanyahu immediately accepted the plan. President Trump gave some time to Hamas to think about the plan. Hamas already agreed to accept the plan with some conditions. Negotiations are still going on.

In this context, let’s check and analyze the points in brief.

The 20- points plan can be divided under three headings, they are, 

firstly, points deal with immediate actions to end the war,

secondly, points, which deal with future economic development of the Gaza Strip and

thirdly, a few points which deal with political future of the Gaza Strip.

The points which include immediate action plans to end the war are, immediate release of hostages by Hamas, Israeli forces will withdraw, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners and 1,700 Gazans, who were detained by Israel, during the process, all military operations will be suspended. To make the after-war situation more peaceful the Plan included amnesty provision for Hamas members, who commit to peaceful coexistence and decommission their weapons. Hamas members, who want leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

The economic development points include, sending humanitarian aid to Gaza to rebuild critical infrastructure, for example, hospitals, distribution of aid through the United Nations and its different agencies, Red Crescent and through other international institutions those are not associated in any manner with either party. The Plan also proposed a Trump economic development pan to rebuild the whole Gaza Strip. The plan includes establishment of a special economic zone and other frameworks to create jobs, opportunity and hope for Gaza.

The political framework points include proposal of establishment of a temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee. This committee will be made up qualified Palestinians and international experts. The committee will be supervised by a new international transitional body, ‘Board of Peace’, headed and chaired by President Donald Trump and other members and heads of state like, Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The Hamas factions should agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza directly, indirectly or in any form. A permanent demilitarization process of Gaza has been proposed. President Trump also proposed that the US will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to train Palestinians to build a police force.
