US President Donald Trump on Thursday (October 9) assured that no one in Gaza would be forced to leave the territory under his peace plan in the Middle East, after signing the first phase of the ceasefire agreement and hostage between Israel and Hamas.
“No one will be forced to leave. No, it is the opposite. This is a great plan. It’s a great peace plan. This is a plan that everyone has supported,” Trump said.
The Middle East trip confirmed
Trump confirmed that he was traveling to the Middle East “sometimes Sunday” to participate in the events related to the agreement. Upon agreement he emphasized the extended celebrations.
“Everyone I see celebrates in Israel, but also celebrates in many other countries. He celebrates many Muslim and Arab countries,” he added.
Peace Plan and Reconstruction of Gaza
Asked about the composition of the International Peace Force in Gaza and the Plans for Reconstruction, Trump stated that accurate details should be determined. However, he again confirmed that the Palestinians would not be forced to leave the territory because it was rebuilt.
“It’s the opposite. It’s a great plan. It’s a great peace plan. We don’t want to do it at all,” he said.
Vision for gaza
In previous months, Trump imagined the transformation of Gaza on what he called “Riviera in the Middle East”, which signaled the focus on reconstruction and development as soon as the ceasefire is fully implemented.
Signed agreements on the ceasefire of Israeli Hamas, hostages to be released
Israel announced on Thursday (October 9) that all parties signed the first phase of the ceasefire and hostage agreements in Gaza and after the 20-point peace plan, presented by US President Donald Trump last month. “All of our hostages, living and deceased will be released 72 hours later, which will bring us to Monday,” said government spokeswoman Shosh Bedrosian. Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar added that the release of the hostages “should end this war”.
Trump to take part in events in the Middle East
Trump said he was planning to travel to the Middle East on Sunday, with stops in Israel and potentially Gaza. Egypt organizes a festive event for the agreement.
The key provisions of the first phase
The agreement requires an immediate ceasefire, a partial Israeli withdrawal from Gaza and the release of 47 remaining hostages in exchange for Palestinian prisoners. Hamas presented a list of release of 250 Palestinians who served long sentences and 1700 other arrested since the beginning of the war. Member of Fatah with a high profile Marwan Barghouti will not be part of the stock exchange.
Obstacles remain
Despite the celebrations, the key problems remain unresolved. Trump said Hamas disarmed and Israeli tones of units will be solved in the second phase.
Ongoing conflicts and victims
The ceasefire is to enter within 24 hours of approval of the cabinet, although on Thursday evening Gaza witnessed several strokes. From October 7, 2023, Hamas, who killed 1,219 people, mostly civilians, killed Israeli retaliation at least 67 194 Palestinians. The UN considers these characters credible that more than half were women and children.
