"Longer-term, the plan envisions the Palestinian Authority taking control of Gaza and leaves open the possibility of a Palestinian state. Trump noted during the press conference that Netanyahu had been "clear about his opposition to a Palestinian state." Both Israel and Arab countries have been seeking changes to the text over the last several days, with issues like the demilitarization of Hamas and the involvement of the Palestinian Authority in the future governance of Gaza as sticking points."
"It calls on the war to end and Israeli forces to withdraw "to the agreed upon line," with the remaining hostages then released within 72 hours. Israel would also release hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in its custody. "Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty" and be allowed to leave Gaza if they wish, according to the statement."
"There would be a "process of demilitarization" in Gaza and the U.S would "work with Arab and international partners" to develop a temporary international security force, per the outline. Aid into Gaza will be significantly increased, including through the UN. The White House outline also mentions a "Trump economic development plan" for Gaza."
The White House plan proposes a technocratic Palestinian government supervised by a "board of peace" led by Trump and including Tony Blair. The plan envisions the Palestinian Authority taking control of Gaza and leaves open the possibility of a Palestinian state, while noting Israeli opposition to statehood. The outline calls for an end to the war, Israeli withdrawal to an agreed line, release of remaining hostages within 72 hours, and Israel releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners. Hamas members who decommission weapons and commit to peaceful coexistence would receive amnesty and could leave Gaza. The plan calls for demilitarization, a temporary international security force, increased UN-aided assistance, and a Trump economic development plan for Gaza.
