Trump Encourages Negotiators to ‘Act Quickly’ as Talks Start in Egypt

Details of Donald Trump’s Twenty-Point ‘Resolution Strategy’ for Gaza?

Provided that each faction consent to a specific series of conditions, the end of fighting will be paired with the liberation of all individuals held by Hamas, both dead and alive, “within 72 hours” of Israel officially endorsing the deal.

To reciprocate the freeing of captives, Israeli authorities would let go 250 individuals of Palestinian origin at present completing life sentences and 1,700 more Palestinians in the Gaza region apprehended after the hostilities erupted on 7 October 2023 subsequent to Hamas’s deadly attack on Israel.

In exchange for every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, the Israeli side will return the remains of 15 deceased Palestinians.

The plan does not mandate a complete Israeli pullout before the captive release. On the contrary, Israel’s military would withdraw to an agreed upon line, within the Gaza area, to get ready for a captive liberation.

The proposal indicates that every military action, such as bombing and artillery fire, will be halted during the release process and battle lines will stay fixed until “requirements are satisfied for the phased full withdrawal”.

Once every captive are freed, amnesty will be awarded to members of Hamas – the militant Islamic organization that the premier of Israel, PM Netanyahu, has frequently sworn to eradicate – who agree to harmonious living and to surrender their arms.

Individuals who want to exit Gaza will be provided with secure transit to nations who have agreed to receive them.

The comprehensive strategy foresees Gaza territory as “an area free from radicalization and terror that poses zero any danger to its neighbours”. Furthermore, it declares the region will be “reconstructed for the advantage of the people of Gaza, who have experienced immense suffering”.

Vitally, and contrary to the outlook of some of Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, Israel will avoid occupying or take over the region, which was home to 21 settlements from Israel before their residents were evacuated in the year 2005.

Furthermore, not anyone be forced to leave Gaza territory, the strategy guarantees. Those who want to exit will be authorized to do so without restriction and permitted to return.

Hamas will not be allowed any role, “in any capacity”, in the future administration of the area.

Trump Urges Representatives to ‘Move Fast’ as They Assemble in Egypt for Gaza Discussions

President Trump has urged delegates from Hamas and Israel meeting in the nation of Egypt for crucial talks focused on ending Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip to “move fast,” stating, in comments on Sunday morning, that there had been “extremely constructive” talks.

The American leader said:

There have been very positive negotiations with Hamas, and Nations from across the planet (Arab, Muslim, and various other countries) this weekend, to free the captives, stop the fighting in Gaza but, more importantly, ultimately secure long sought PEACE in the area of the Middle East.

These negotiations have been very successful, and advancing swiftly. Specialist groups will meet once more on Monday, in Egypt, to work through and finalize the remaining specifics. Sources indicate that the opening segment should be completed this week, and I am urging each participant to ACCELERATE PROGRESS.

The United States delegate Envoy Witkoff is anticipated to participate in the negotiations, as per sources in Israel, alongside representatives from Israel and a Palestinian group led by Al-Hayya, the assistant leader of the administrative wing of the Hamas movement.

The Hamas official is reportedly due to confer with facilitators from Qatar and Egypt in Cairo this morning, before discussions in the Egyptian tourist destination of Sharm El-Sheikh.

Nevertheless, Israel’s chief negotiator, strategic affairs minister Dermer, is slated to attend negotiations toward the end of the week, pending advancements in the negotiations, based on several officials from Israel.

Hope regarding a prospective cessation of hostilities has escalated worldwide, with officials from Western and Arab countries urging Israel and Hamas to reach an agreement. During Sunday, the Germany’s chancellor, Chancellor Merz, contacted Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel and showed approval for the Trump initiative, describing it as “the most favorable prospect for peace”, according to a summary.
