What's in Trump's 20-point peace plan for Gaza?

"The White House peace plan for Gaza proposes an immediate end to the devastating war between Israel and Hamas that has raged in the coastal territory for nearly two years, while pointedly excluding the Palestinian militant group from any future governing role. Assuming both sides agree to a detailed list of conditions, the end of fighting will be accompanied by the release of all Israeli hostages, both dead and alive, within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting the deal."

"In return for the release of hostages, Israel would release 250 Palestinians currently serving life sentences and 1,700 Palestinians in Gaza detained since the conflict started on 7 October 2023 after Hamas' deadly attack on Israel. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Palestinians. The plan does not require a full Israeli withdrawal ahead of the release of the hostages."

"Once all hostages are released, amnesty will be granted to members of Hamas the Islamist military group that Israel's prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has repeatedly vowed to destroy who agree to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons. Those who wish to leave Gaza will be given safe passage to countries who have agreed to receive them. The 20-point plan envisages Gaza as a de-radicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours."

A White House plan proposes an immediate end to the nearly two-year Gaza war while excluding Hamas from future governing roles. If both sides accept conditions, all Israeli hostages would be released within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting the deal in exchange for Israel freeing 250 Palestinians serving life sentences and 1,700 Gaza detainees taken since 7 October 2023, and returning 15 Palestinian remains for each Israeli remains. Israel would pull back to an agreed line and suspend operations during staged releases; after full hostage return, amnesty would be offered to Hamas members who decommission weapons and accept peaceful coexistence, with safe passage for those leaving; Gaza would be de-radicalized, redeveloped, and not occupied or annexed.
