1. Gaza will be a deradicalised terror-free zone that does not pose a threat . to its neighbours.
2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza.
3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release.
4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.
5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1,700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.
6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.
7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip.
8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent.
9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair.
10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East.
11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.
12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return.
13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.
14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.
15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza.
16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. Practically, the [Israeli military] will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.
17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the [Israeli military] to the ISF.
18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.
19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.
20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.
The Israeli Prime Minister has accepted this deal in principle, as has their Opposition Leader. If Hamas agrees, then the terrible war may finally end,

2 1/2 years later gump's got a plan?
give that man a peace prize.................
maybe booboo netanyobbo didn't show him his 'greater israel' map.
(who gets the oil/gas offshore of gaza?)
Egypt's in the mix of billionaires and assorted reptiles( the devil was busy so they hired Tony Blair)so the oil and gas will be split between Egypt and Israel and the USA. The Palestinians will get zilch.
This is an ultimatum. Not a peace offer. It will be either rejected outright by HAMAS, or simply ignored. The same way Ukraine ignores Putin's peace offers. The difference is HAMAS still has the option of melting away into the desert and biding their time. Ukraine has nowhere else to go.
Oh come on Jonesy
Is’nt it time to, even begrudgingly, admit that the only person capable of making things happen on the world stage is Donald J Trump.
Sure he is, like all of us, prone to failure at first attempts, we thank God he has the strength of character and purpose to get back up and try something different until he finds a policy that works for the betterment of mankind.
Given the lack of reliable support from his “so called” allies in almost all fields of international concern, nis peace initiative successes to date are remarkable.
My guess is that he will be responsible for a lasting peace in the Middle East and Ukraine based on terms previously unthinkable but when it happens you and your motley crew of Trump haters will no doubt be reluctant to give him the credit he deserves.
Too bad!
Remind me how many wars that Trump has ended Mr Bibby. I think he claims it was seven at last count. It's a pity the most superficial fact check proves the enormity of this lie. In two cases he has stopped two wars that didn't even exist. (Egypt/Ethiopia and Serbia/Kosovo). So I guess that could count as being remarkable in its own way. But I do agree that Trump certainly makes other things happen on the world stage. He breaks treaties at will, threatens to invade allies, destroys international trade, and directly causes the deaths of desperate third-world people dependent on American humanitarian aid. I'm quite happy to give him the credit he deserves for that, even without the dawning of a lasting peace in the Middle East. Which will probably never happen anyway because peace in the Middle East does not depend on clever diplomacy. it depends on Islam accepting that they do not have a god-given right to subjugate the world, which will never happen. Trump is, and will continue to be, a rank amateur in these matters and will wind up as just a footnote in some future Wikipedia history of the Gaza conflict. But you can count on him chalking up Gaza as war number eight, whatever happens, because he knows his base will not have the wit to challenge him.
Oh well, l guess we’ll just have to wait and see who’s right.
No doubt you guys will have difficulty eating your words when a deal is signed that is probably more than anything as a result of Trump’s input.
You really do need to stop digging Jonesy.
Keeping your mouth shut is a better strategy than proving you are a deranged bigot every time you open it.
Oh well, we’ll just have to wait and see who’s right.
Perhaps you lot will be prepared to give POTUS 47 credit if he pulls this one off.
Pigs will fly!
A note to the moderators.
You state that you will only publish comments that are respectful. Kindly explain therefore how you consider Clive Bibby's comment that I am a "deranged bigot" meets that standard. Ad‐hominem attacks have no place in civil discourse and even less in intelligent debate. They demean both the commentator and the platform. Perhaps Mr Bibby needs to be reminded of this when he finds valid criticism of his opinions unpalatable.
In the course of vibrant debate, words are going to be used that rub someone up the wrong way.
Personal attacks in the absence of any substantive commentary will be deleted straight off, but if a personal sideswipe arises in the course of a reasoned comment on the issue at hand, I tend to let it go. On this occasion, Mr Bibby was modifying a quip made by Mark Twain, suggesting that it was more a tongue in cheek comment than anything vitiolic.
Thank you for explaining that to me Moderator. For the record Mark Twain actually said "It's better to keep your mouth shut and appear stupid than open it and remove all doubt". Seems to me a lot of your more "vibrant" debaters would benefit enormously from following that advice. That assumes of course they are capable of making the preliminary "reasoned" comment you require to magically convert vitriol into sly humour. I don't see much evidence of that in Mr Bibby's contributions.
It bothers me not at all if “Jonesy” takes exception to my “tongue in cheek” response to his denigration of my contributions. It is however, interesting to note that my opinion pieces are 100% better received by readers than his non existent contributions written under his real name.
Mind you, if he really wants to know my opinion about Trump’s 20 point plan for Gazza, he or she should read Brendan O’Neil’s brilliant contribution in yesterday’s edition of BVs. That says it all.
And perhaps no surprises that Jonesy appears to lack the courage to comment on this masterpiece while preferring to spend time attacking the words of lesser mortals like myself.
