Your guide to what the second period of Trump means to Washington, business and the world

After two years of horrific human suffering, there is finally a dangerous boost to end the Israel war against Hamas in Gaza and prepare for the next day. It comes in the form of the 20 -points Donald Trump’s plan that has support from Arab countries, and decisively, Israel, after the American President, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, met Monday.

The proposal has its faults and there will be doubts about its success. Hamas, which will have to abandon its arms, has not yet agreed to the conditions that actually require its military surrender. There will be great obstacles to implementing the plan. But any momentum to end the massacre in Gaza and liberate the remaining Israeli hostages that Hamas has been keeping since its horrific attack on October 7, 2023, has sparked welcoming the conflict. For this, Trump deserves credit.

The tragedy is that the president took this long time to take advantage of America’s weight and persuade Netanyahu to stop the Israeli attack, which killed more than 66,000 people, according to Palestinian health officials. The right -wing government of Netanyahu gave the extreme oceanic Planch because it broke the ceasefire; Imposing a full siege for a month on Gaza, which tends parts of the tape to famine; Israel escalated the attack. An increasing number of experts, including the United Nations Committee, concluded that Israel is committing genocide.

Trump’s plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, after which Hamas will be obligated to release all 48-20 hostages, within 72 hours. Gaza will be managed by a Palestinian -based Palestinian committee supervised by an international supervisory body, headed by Trump with other high -level figures, including former British Prime Minister Sir Tony Blair, in his board of directors. Security will decrease to an international installation force that works alongside Palestinian individuals.

More importantly, it states that there will be no forced displacement of conquest, nor the Israeli occupation of the tape. There is also a Mysterious reference To a solution from the two countries for the lengthy crisis. The plan says that if Gaza is re -developed and the Palestinian Authority is reformed, which is the weak body that runs limited parts of the occupied West Bank, the conditions may be in place in the place of a reliable path to self -determination and the state.

But Trump left her to others to count the important details, including how Hamas and the timetable for the withdrawal of Israeli forces will be removed. The limited role of the Palestinians and optics in Blair-which many people in the Middle East remember because of its role in the 2003-US-led Iraq invasion of Iraq-is the actual governor of Gaza undermining the reliability of the transition.

There are already fears that Netanyahu will manipulate a plan to suit his own vision. He continues to resist any moves towards a Palestinian state or allow the Palestinian Authority to be a role in Gaza. And he insists on Israel, maintaining comprehensive security control over the tape. He should not be allowed to enjoy peace opportunities. There is also a risk of rebellion against Israeli and foreign forces, even if Hamas leaders have registered in the plan. But Trump’s plan provides the opportunity to bring some comfort to gas and hostages.

It is now necessary that the American president does not demand a quick victory and pass Pak. Washington needs to remain involved and understand that the plan is only a first initial step towards addressing a decades -long crisis. Arab countries must press Hamas to accept the conditions, and have done their best to ensure that Trump does not allow the Palestinians to marginalize.

The plan is for the United States to put a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians “to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence.” This must mean supporting the establishment of reliable and effective Palestinian administration and working on a two -state solution that provides security, dignity and justice that the two sides deserve. Failure will only bring more conflict and suffering to the Palestinians and Israelis.
