September 30, 2025The White House on Monday unveiled a 20-point 'Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict' following Trump's meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Under the proposal, Gaza would become a deradicalised, terror-free zone, with no threat to its neighbours. Residents would remain in place, aid would resume immediately, and a panel of experts would oversee Gaza's redevelopment. Governance would be handed to a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee responsible for daily administration, while Hamas would have no direct or indirect role.

According to the plan, Israeli forces would withdraw to designated lines during the hostage exchange, with all military operations suspended and battle lines frozen until conditions for a complete withdrawal are met.
The proposal also specifies that for every Israeli hostage's remains returned, Israel would release the remains of 15 Palestinians.
Following the announcement, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, and Egypt issued a joint statement welcoming Trump's “leadership” and his “sincere efforts” to end the war in Gaza.
