The plan, unveiled jointly by President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on September 29, seeks to establish Gaza as a “deradicalised, terror-free zone” and pledges redevelopment for the benefit of its people, who have suffered extensively during the ongoing conflict. It also proposes a temporary governing board for Gaza, to be headed by Trump and including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.

While Israel has welcomed the plan, the acceptance of its terms by Hamas remains uncertain. The militant group has previously resisted disarmament, a key demand of Netanyahu, making implementation dependent on continued diplomatic efforts.
