Leak reveals Trump’s full 21-point Gaza peace plan that was met with fanfare from Arab allies

WASHINGTON — All 21 facets of President Trump’s Gaza peace plan were revealed Saturday, including a staunch demand to release all the Israeli hostages in Hamas’ captivity within 48 hours of inking any deal, a push to deradicalize the Palestinian enclave, and a commitment to end all fighting.

The peace plan also paves the pathway to possible Palestinian statehood, lays out steps to revitalize the Gaza Strip, and stipulates that Hamas cannot be part of any governing structure, according to the Times of Israel, which saw a copy of the full plan.

Trump presented the plan to allies Tuesday at the United Nations, but its full scope has not been fully presented to Hamas yet. The plan lays out a series of strong demands to the terrorist organization and makes key overtures to Gazans.

Under the proposal, all sides will work to redevelop Gaza, pour aid into the war-torn enclave at levels not lower than the January 2025 hostage deal.

Israeli Defense Forces would gradually withdraw from Gaza and Israel would agree to release key Palestinian prisoners. Hamas members who agree to peaceful coexistence will get amnesty. Those who want to leave will get safe passage to other countries.

Critically, anyone who wants to return to Gaza after leaving will be allowed to do so.

That marks a shift from February, when Trump talked about having the Palestinians temporarily relocated from Gaza to transform the enclave into a “Riviera of the Middle East.”

“I think it addresses Israeli concerns as well as the concerns of all the neighbours in the region,” US special envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff said at the Concordia summit on the sidelines of UNGA on Tuesday.

“We’re hopeful — and I might say even confident– that in the coming days we’ll be able to announce some sort of breakthrough.”

Gaza would also get a temporary government overseen by an international group involving the US, Arab countries, and European nations. They would develop a new economic plan to revitalize Gaza, including reduced tariff rates for an economic zone in the enclave.

Regional partners will give a security guarantee to force Hamas and its allies in Gaza to fulfill their obligations. The US and Arab allies will also craft a stabilization force to build up security in Gaza.

Additionally, Israel will agree not to annex or occupy Gaza and commit that it won’t strike Qatar again — an attack earlier this month that roiled US allies in the Middle East.

Trump is expected to discuss the plan with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he comes to the White House on Monday.

Netanyahu vowed on Friday to forge ahead with the war until Hamas is fully eradicated. Last week, Israel confirmed that it began a ground invasion of Gaza City.

“The United States remains focused on ending the conflict in Gaza in a way that frees all hostages, ends Hamas’ terrorist rule, and facilitates the delivery of critically needed humanitarian assistance to civilians,” a State Department official told The Post when asked about the plan.

Aspects of the plan have also been championed by European allies such as France, whose president was optimistic that “we can have a result” if the Americans, Arabs and Europeans rally around it.

Earlier this week, Trump made clear that he would not permit Israel to annex the West Bank despite top officials such as Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich pushing to take over vast swaths of it.

“I will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank. Nope, I will not allow it. It’s not going to happen,” Trump told reporters Friday.

“It’s been enough. It’s time to stop now.”
