Trump presents Piano in 20 points for Gaza: Netanyahu accepts, exchange hostages and truce under UN. Hamas takes time. Favorable Italy
“Today is a historic day for peace.” So the American president, Donald Trump, expressed himself, announcing that the plan for the Gaza Strip was accepted by the Israeli Premier, Benjamin Netanyahu, present at his side in the press conference.
Tycoon is convinced that he is “more than close” to “a peace agreement on Gaza”: he believes that “Hamas will accept”. But if the opposite happens, it will give full support “to Bibi in doing what he owes”. On the other hand, Netanyahu, turning to Trump, said: “I accept your Pianoper put an end to the war in Gaza”. But he has warned that “if Hamas rejects the plan or if presumably accepts it, and then it does practically everything to contrast it, then it will make the work alone”. Always Netanyahu added that the ANP will not manage “the peaceful civil administration” until it has adopted radical changes.
The 20 points of the plan
The White House has published the Trump plan which contains the 20 points to finish the conflict in Gaza. The return “within 72 hours of the acceptance of the agreement by Israel” of “All the hostages, lives and deceased” and in return Jerusalem “will free 250 Palestinian prisoners life sentences and plus 1,700 citizens of Gaza detained after 7 October 2023, including all women and children” is expected. Once the hostages are freed, to the “members of Hamas who commit themselves to maintaining a peaceful coexistence and dismantling their weapons” will be granted “the amnesty” and if they want to leave the strip, they will be guaranteed to them “a safe passage to the destination countries”.
With the acceptance of the agreement from both the parties, “the war ends immediately”: therefore “the Israeli forces will retire along the agreed line to prepare the release of the hostages”. In this period of time “all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombings, will be suspended and the battle lines will remain frozen until the conditions for a complete gradual retreat are satisfied”. And, always subject to acceptance of the plan, “aid will be sent immediately to Gaza” with “entry” and the “distribution” that will be managed by the “United Nations”, the “red crescent” and the other “international institutions” which “are not associated with either of the two parts”.
Among the points of the plan also the announcement that “nobody will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who want him will be free to do so and return”. Hamas must not have “no role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly or in any form”. All “military and terrorist” infrastructures including “tunnels, weapon production plants” will be “destroyed and not reconstructed”. And “a process of demilitarization of Gaza will be started under the supervision of independent observers”. Regional partners will play the role of “guaranteeing” that Hamas respects “their obligations”. Washington will collaborate with “Arab and international partners” to develop a temporary international stabilization force (ISF) to be immediately deployed to Gaza “. The ISF “will train and provide support to the Palestinian police forces in Gaza” who will be “selected” and “will consult with Jordan and Egypt”. It is established that “Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza”.
Gaza will be governed “by a temporary Technocratic and apolitical Palestinian committee” under the “supervision of a new international transition body” or “the Council for Peace” which “will be chaired” by Trump and which includes among the members “the former Prime Minister Tony Blair”. The body “will manage the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until the ANP has completed its reform program”. “A special economic area with preferential rates” will then be created. This is accompanied by “a Trump’s economic development plan to reconstruct and revitalize Gaza” which “will be developed by convening a group of experts who have contributed to the birth of some of the flourishing modern cities” Middle Eastern. Finally, “once the redevelopment of Gaza has been carried out and the Anp reform program has been faithfully implemented” then “the conditions could be created for a credible path towards self -determination and sovereignty” of a Palestinian state.
Stored against those who recognized the Palestinian state
The American president at the press conference wanted to remove a pebble from the shoe: he said that “many European countries friends” have “shocking” the state of Palestine recognized. However, he has them for a certain towards Sorry, claiming that they did it “because they are tired of what has been happening for too many decades”.
What Hamas said
The high Hamas official, Muhammad Mardowi, told Al Jazeera, that the American plan “hangs towards the Israeli perspective” as it is “close to what Netanyahu insists on to continue the war”. He also said that “what happened was an attempt to repress the international momentum and the recognition of the Palestinian state”. And he specified, however: «We must receive this plan in writing and Chiara before responding. The plan must be in the hands of Hamas and Palestinian organizations ».
Another high Hamas official, Taher al-Nunu, told Reuters: «Tony Blair is an unacceptable figure for our people. We accepted the formation of a committee that does not represent any Palestinian faction to manage Gaza’s affairs after the war, and we will not accept the imposition of foreign protection on our people “. Among other things, Taher Al-Nunu always commented that without the Palestinian state “armed resistance is a right”. A diplomatic source tried to dilute the tones, explaining to Al Jazeera that the negotiating team of the terrorist organization “will study Trump’s proposal” on Gaza “in good faith”.
The Italian reaction
«The plan, which Italy welcomes, has an ambitious project of stabilization, reconstruction and development of the Gaza Strip, with the full involvement of the regional partners. In this context, Italy is ready to do its part, in Closer coordination with the United States, the European and the Region partners, and thanks President Trump for the mediation work and his efforts to bring peace to the Middle East »reads a note from Palazzo Chigi.
