In what could be the most important diplomatic pressure in the years, delegations from Hamas, Israel and Palestinian factions are ready to start interviews in Cairo on Monday, to which the US leaders, including Senator Marc Rubio, to negotiate the conditions of the proposed Peace Plan of Donald Trump.
This step is followed by Hamas’s partial acceptance of the plan on Friday – a development that is widely considered to be the nearest two sides, came in almost two years to stop the devastating conflict in Gaza.
The international community cautiously welcomed a breakthrough, because the leaders in the Middle East and the express hope that the Trump initiative could finally end a war that left more than 67,000 Palestinians of the dead and around 170,000 injured.
“They have the basis of optimism and political momentum,” said the head of the American official, marked the rare alignment of interests between Israeli, Palestinian, Arabic and American leaders.
What did Trump said in the latest social post?
The promising US President Donald Trump seemed to be bulls on his proposed peace plan and repeated that he could end the “centuries old conflict”.
There was a very positive discussion with Hamas and countries from around the world (Arabic, Muslims and all others) to relax hostages, ending war in Gaza, but more importantly, finally, in the Middle East, have long been looking for peace. These interviews were very successful and proceeded quickly. The technical teams will meet again on Monday in Egypt to work out and clarify the final details. I have been told that the first phase should be completed this week, and I ask everyone to move fast. I will continue to watch this centuries old “conflict”. Time is the essence or massive bloodshed will follow – something no one wants to see!
What does the Peace Plan in Gaza Trump propose?
The 20-point plan presented by the US President last week outlines the plan to end the war in Gaza. Requires that:
Edition of all hostages to 72 hours
- Hamas hand over the power of a multinational body led by the US President
- Complete disarmament of Hamas
- Gradual withdrawal of Israeli troops from the Gaza band
- Edition of more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners
- An increase in humanitarian aid and reconstruction funds for gaza
Trump described the proposal as a “historical opportunity for peace and justice” and did not conceal his desire to arrange an agreement before the Nobel Míru Nobel Prize 10. October.
On Saturday evening he published a map on the social media, which indicates the Israeli line of download and added that the ceasefire would start immediately if Hamas agreed.
What Hamas agreed?
Hamas accepted three key components of the Trump plan:
- Releasing all hostages,
- Assignment of administrative control of gaza and
- Israeli withdrawal from the territory.
However, the militant group insists that other negotiations are needed in other points, especially in the clause of disarmament and a solid schedule for Israeli withdrawal.
Hamas said that the rest of the agreement “will have to be discussed with other Palestinian parties because it is part of a collective national attitude.”
In its statement, the group also stressed that it would accept the Palestinian technocratic government, not the international body proposed by Trump.
Where and when will the negotiations between Israel-Hamas take place?
Delegates from Hamas, Israel, Palestinian authorities and the US arrived in Cairo, and Egyptian intelligence officials mediated interviews. Negotiations are expected to start on Monday and in our opinion and Egyptian resources could bring results within a few days.
Senator Marco Rubio, representing the US delegation, is expected to play a key role in coordination between Washington and the regional participating parties.
“The agreement to bring Israeli hostages would ideally happen in the coming days,” said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, adding that his government remains “determined to return every citizen held in Gaza.”
What are the remaining obstacles to the Gaza Peace Plan?
Despite growing optimism, significant gaps remain.
Hamas historically refused to disarm and there was no indication that his position had moved – a place for Trump and Israel, who insist on the fact that there will be no “torque” in this matter.
At the same time, Netanyahu sent mixed signals on the withdrawal of Israel soldiers.
Shortly after the plan was announced in Washington, the Israeli leader assured citizens that IDF would remain in most Gaza.
On Saturday evening he repeated this message:
“The hostages would return while the Israeli defensive forces remain deep inside the belt.”
This attitude is contrary to the American plan that requires a complete Israeli withdrawal and leaves the negotiators a difficult task – persuading Hamas that any ejection will be real and enforceable through international guarantees.
Could Trump’s Peace Plan of Gaza really work?
Diplomats describe Cairo interviews as a critical intersection – the first serious attempt in the years to end the Gaza conflict.
However, analysts point out that previous negotiations are close to success to suddenly collapse, often on the same issues of disarmament, sovereignty and security guarantees.
“Negotiators will have to bridge these gaps,” said one regional analyst Guardian, “the clear language from Hamas for disarmament and ensuring the Israeli withdrawal is binding and verified.”
The US administration, which wants to demonstrate diplomatic success before the election cycle 2025, is likely to exert maximum pressure on both sides. However, whether Trump’s peace agreement can overcome years of distrust and bloodshed remains uncertain.
As one older Arab diplomat in Cairo said, “This can be the best chance so far – but she died many times earlier in Gaza Hope many times.”
