"The 20-point plan is far from perfect, but if it can end the carnage and create a space where issues can be addressed without bombs or missiles exploding, it must be worth the candle. Ending the overwhelming suffering and addressing the humanitarian needs of a traumatised nation must be the immediate priority. But there is much to unpack."
"Anyone seriously invested in a long-term solution must recognise that Palestine and Israel both have an absolute right to a home and to live in peace. The plan has a governance framework that includes an interim administration with a council or board of directors. This would oversee ministries that would be run by international and regional experts and Palestinian technocrats."
The 20-point plan offers a framework to end immediate carnage, stabilise the region, and address humanitarian needs in Gaza. The plan proposes an interim administration with a council or board to oversee ministries run by international and regional experts alongside Palestinian technocrats and the Palestinian Authority. Reconstruction of Gaza would follow demilitarisation, funded by regional countries. The plan is associated with figures including Trump, Tony Blair and Benjamin Netanyahu, and faces skepticism given past failed deals and Netanyahu’s rejection of a Palestinian state. International backing depends on Hamas ceasing to be part of the governance picture.
