Trump presented his plan for peace in Gaza: it has Arab and Israeli support

The plan presented by the White House this Monday in the Oval Office to end the war in Gaza and establish a period of peace in the Middle East has the support of Israel and the Arab nations.

The president of the United States, Donald Trump, outlined a plan that includes the return of all Israeli hostages—both those who have died and those who are still alive—the complete demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, and the destruction of Hamas as an organization.

In a press conference, Trump announced that Israel had accepted the scheme consisting of 20 points. "Today is a historic day for peace. Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have just concluded an important meeting on vital issues, including Iran, trade, the expansion of the Abraham Accords, and, most importantly, we discussed how to end the war in Gaza." 

Arab countries support Trump's plan

"I also want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for agreeing to the plan and for trusting that if we work together, we can put an end to the death and destruction we've seen for so many years," the president added. 

Among the Arab nations that endorsed this plan are, among others, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, and Türkiye. "Under the plan, Arab and Muslim countries have committed to demilitarizing Gaza and dismantling the military capabilities of Hamas and all other terrorist organizations," Trump said.

The Republican leader indicated that he trusts his Arab counterparts to implement this disarmament plan immediately. "We trust the countries I named and others to deal with Hamas. I'm hearing that Hamas also wants this to be done," the president continued.

Netanyahu also approves it 

The terrorist group is the only party that has not yet accepted the agreement. According to Trump, if the leadership of the terrorist entity rejects this agreement, Israel will receive the "full support" of the United States to continue the war and for Netanyahu to "do what he has to do". 

The Israeli prime minister praised the work of his American counterpart and his efforts to achieve a truce in Gaza. "I believe today we're taking a critical step both to end the war in Gaza and to set the stage for the dramatic advancement of peace in the Middle East," Netanyahu said.

"If Hamas rejects your plan, Mr. President, or if they supposedly accept it, and then, basically, do everything possible to counter it, then Israel will finish the job itself. This can be done the easy way, or it can be done the hard way. But it will be done," the prime minister said.
