President Donald J. Trump presented a historic plan to end the conflict in Gaza. Unlike other vague diplomatic proposals, this document details, point by point, the conditions for an immediate ceasefire, the return of hostages, and the reconstruction of the Strip under international supervision.
These are the 20 key points of the Trump Plan for Gaza:
The 20 Points of the Plan
- Immediate ceasefire upon signing.
- Freezing of positions: combat lines will remain fixed.
- Partial withdrawal of Israel up to the agreed line to facilitate the release of hostages.
- Return of all hostages (alive and deceased) within 72 hours.
- Release of 250 prisoners serving life sentences in Israeli prisons.
- Release of 1,700 Palestinians detained after October 7, 2023, including women and children.
- Exchange of human remains: 15 Palestinian bodies for each deceased Israeli hostage.
- Conditional amnesty for Hamas members who lay down their arms.
- Safe exit for those wishing to leave Gaza for third countries.
- Immediate entry of humanitarian aid, at levels equal to the January 2025 agreement.
- Rehabilitation of critical infrastructure: water, electricity, sewage, hospitals, and bakeries.
- Entry of heavy machinery to remove debris and open roads.
- Distribution of aid under international control (UN, Red Crescent, and others).
- Opening of the Rafah crossing in both directions under international supervision.
- Transitional technocratic governance, with no presence of political factions.
- Supervision by a "Peace Board" led by Trump, with international leaders.
- Transition to the Palestinian Authority once it completes structural reforms.
- Creation of a special economic zone with tariff benefits.
- Participation of international experts in economic and urban planning.
- Guarantee of freedom of movement: no one will be expelled; anyone wishing to leave or return may do so.
The list shows a pragmatic plan: it combines immediate measures (ceasefire, return of hostages) with long-term structures (Palestinian reforms, economic reconstruction).
