Trump announces 20-point Gaza peace plan

Earlier in the day, Trump formally presented his 20-point roadmap at the White House alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan promises an immediate halt to hostilities if Hamas agrees, with the release of all hostages within 72 hours. It further proposes the creation of a temporary technocratic administration in Gaza under an international “Board of Peace”, chaired by Trump and joined by former UK prime minister Tony Blair.

The agreement would prevent Israel from annexing the Strip, while Hamas members willing to renounce violence would receive amnesty and others safe passage abroad. Security would be overseen by international and regional forces, tasked with training a reformed Palestinian police.

Netanyahu endorsed the plan but warned that Israel is prepared to “finish the job” if Hamas declines. Trump issued a similar caution, pledging full American backing for Israeli military action should his proposal be rejected.

Israeli forces are pressing deeper into Gaza City, with local medics reporting at least 50 deaths in a single day.
