"The twenty-point plan is ambitiously, if vaguely, designed to end the nearly two-year war in Gaza; bring home all the hostages, both dead and alive; create a committee to govern the territory; demilitarize Hamas; and eventually eliminate "any danger posed in the region." It calls for Israeli troops to withdraw from Gaza, in phases, but allows them to keep an undefined security perimeter until there is no "resurgent terror threat.""
"Trump's description of his new job as "chairman of the board" recalled his insistence, earlier this year, that Gaza would be developed into the "Riviera of the Middle East." That announcement was followed by an A.I.-generated video depicting a new Trump resort, on the shores of the Mediterranean, after the rubble had been cleared away. The U.N. estimates that more than ninety per cent of all residential buildings in Gaza have been damaged or destroyed."
Donald Trump unveiled a twenty-point Middle East peace plan presented as historic. The plan aims to end the nearly two-year Gaza war, return all hostages dead and alive, create a governing committee, demilitarize Hamas, and eliminate regional threats. It calls for phased Israeli troop withdrawals while permitting an undefined security perimeter until no "resurgent terror threat" remains. Trump said he will chair an international "board of peace." He proposed developing Gaza into a "Riviera" and released an A.I.-generated promotional video. The U.N. reports over ninety percent of Gaza residential buildings damaged or destroyed, and dozens of Palestinians were killed in the twenty-four hours after the plan’s unveiling. The plan is political gold for Benjamin Netanyahu.
