As per Trump's plan, all military activity, including air strikes and artillery fire, would be paused, and battle lines would remain frozen until conditions for staged withdrawal are met. Establishing a temporary governing board in Palestine, which will be headed by Trump and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, is included in the plan.
Once all the hostages are released, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip for the Palestinian people with quantities consistent with the levels mandated under a January 19, 2025, accord. The deliveries of aid will proceed without interference from Israel or Hamas through the United Nations and related agencies.
The plan has stated that, a “deradicalised” Gaza will not pose a threat to its neighbours and will be “redeveloped” for the benefit of Gazans.
