The Trump administration has proposed a comprehensive 21-point Gaza peace plan that calls for the release of all Israeli hostages and sets out a roadmap for the territory's post-war future, according to a source familiar with the proposal.
U.S. President Donald Trump has voiced confidence, saying the two sides are "very close" to a deal, just days after his envoy said a "breakthrough" was possible following meetings with Arab states at the United Nations.
The core of the plan mandates the release of all hostages—about 20 of whom are thought to be still alive—within 48 hours of an agreement, in exchange for a phased withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza. Crucially, the plan would deny Hamas any future role in the governance of Gaza, instead calling for two levels of interim governance: an overarching international body and a Palestinian committee.
