WhatÕs in
TrumpÕs
plan to
end Gaza
war?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted a U.S. plan
to end the war in Gaza, while Hamas is yet to officially respond

GAZA CEASEFIRE

All hostilities immediately end

Hamas frees all hostages it still
holds, living or dead, within 72 hours

In return, Israel releases 250
Palestinian prisoners serving life
sentences, 1,700 Gaza residents
detained during war, and the remains
of 15 Palestinians for the remains
of each dead hostage

ISRAELI WITHDRAWAL

Takes place after Hamas disarms
and as International Stabilisation
Force (ISF) deploys to fill areas that
Israeli forces vacate

Israel keeps Òsecurity perimeter
presenceÓ Ð meaning possible buffer
zone inside Gaza

FATE OF HAMAS

Group plays no part in running
territory. All its military infrastructure
dismantled, including tunnels

Amnesty granted for Hamas
members who pledge to live
peacefully. Those wishing to leave
Gaza are allowed to do so

ISF ensures HamasÕ disarmament,
keeps order and trains Palestinian
police to take over law enforcement
in Gaza

POSTWAR GAZA

Humanitarian aid flows in, run by
Òneutral international bodiesÓ

International effort rebuilds Gaza Ð
Palestinians not expelled

Interim body of Palestinian
technocrats runs day-to-day affairs,
overseen by ÒBoard of PeaceÓ
which supervises reconstruction

Palestinian Authority undergoes
reforms so it can eventually take
over governance, leaving door open
for eventual Palestinian state
