"The plan wants all 48 captives still held in Gaza to be released immediately, in exchange for allowing entry of humanitarian aid, freezing battle lines, and the release of a number of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli military jails. The plan would also see Hamas disarm, offer fighters who renounce violence amnesty, and allow others who refuse to leave Gaza."
"Crucially, it specifies that no Palestinians will be forced to leave their territory, and says anyone who leaves voluntarily will be allowed to return to their homes. If true in practice, this would signal a U-turn for Trump, who shocked the world in February when he openly touted ethnic cleansing by musing about the US taking over Gaza and permanently moving out its more than two million residents,"
The United States plan calls for ousting Hamas from Gaza, establishing an interim administration, and later transferring authority to a reformed Palestinian Authority. Tony Blair is envisaged as a possible de facto governor-general of Gaza after Hamas is removed, though his ultimate role is not finalised. The plan demands immediate release of 48 captives in exchange for humanitarian access, a freeze to battle lines, and release of some Palestinian prisoners. It seeks Hamas disarmament, amnesty for fighters who renounce violence, and assurances against forced Palestinian displacement while allowing voluntary return. The plan also leaves open the possibility of a future sovereign Palestinian state.
