Day-after plan<\/strong><\/p>\nNetanyahu said that the Israeli cabinet has approved the proposal, which he said is the \u201cday-after\u201d plan for Gaza.<\/p>\n
\u201cHamas will be disarmed, Gaza will be demilitarized, Israel will retain security responsibility, including a security perimeter for the foreseeable future,\u201d the premier said. \u201cGaza will have a peaceful, civilian administration. That is run neither by Hamas nor by the Palestinian Authority.\u201d<\/p>\n
The transitional Palestinian committee to govern Gaza will be overseen by a \u201cboard of peace,\u201d which Trump is to chair, and whose members are to include Tony Blair, a former U.K. prime minister.<\/p>\n
The plan envisions the Palestinian Authority replacing both entities eventually.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump\u2019s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza,\u201d point nine states.<\/p>\n
The plan leaves the possibility of a Palestinian state open in the future, even as Trump said that several countries had \u201cfoolishly\u201d recognized such a state and noted that Netanyahu said he was deeply opposed to it.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhile Gaza redevelopment advances and when the Palestinian Authority reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people,\u201d it states.<\/p>\n
\u2018Free of radical terrorist rule\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\nJewish groups applauded the proposed deal. Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, called the announcement \u201ca moment of historic consequence.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plan forged by the United States, agreed upon by Israel and shared with key international partners, marks the first credible path forward toward ending the cycle of violence that has gripped the region since Hamas\u2019s brutal terror attack on Oct. 7,\u201d Lauder stated. \u201cFor the first time, there is a clear framework that ensures all hostages will be freed, Hamas will be disarmed, Gaza will be demilitarized, and Israel\u2019s security will be preserved.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cCritically, it finally opens the possibility for the Palestinian people to live free of radical terrorist rule that has brought them only misery and destruction,\u201d he added. \u201cThis is a turning point. Peace is now within reach, but only if Hamas chooses to lay down its weapons and release the innocent men, women and children it continues to hold.\u201d<\/p>\n
Robert Spitzer and Daniel S. Mariaschin, president and CEO, respectively, of B\u2019nai B\u2019rith International, also welcomed<\/a> the announcement.<\/p>\n\u201cWe commend the president for clearly noting Hamas started the war in Gaza, reminding the world of the Hamas attacks against Israel on Oct. 7, 2023,\u201d the duo said. \u201cTrump also noted that Israel withdrew from Gaza in exchange for the potential for peace in 2005, but Hamas diverted resources for terror infrastructure, \u2018instead of building a better life for the Palestinian people.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis peace plan has the wide support of the United States, Israel and several Arab countries. Now the onus is on Hamas to agree to the plan, disarm and free the hostages who have been brutally held captive in violation of law and basic morality,\u201d AIPAC stated. \u201cIf Hamas agrees to the implementation of this plan, aid will further surge to Gazan civilians to help ameliorate the humanitarian situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis plan is a direct byproduct of the tremendous progress of Israel\u2019s military operation in Gaza to degrade Hamas\u2019s capabilities. Congressional support for our democratic ally has been instrumental throughout this war, including by passing the largest military aid package in Israel\u2019s history, and we applaud the Democrats and Republicans who have been consistent and unequivocal in their demands for Hamas to free the hostages and give up power in Gaza,\u201d AIPAC said.<\/p>\n
It added that \u201cAmerican and world leaders must now pressure Hamas to agree to the peace plan and adhere to its terms and implementation.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Republican Jewish Coalition stated that \u201cIsrael has accepted multiple offers to bring this conflict to an end. It is now time for Hamas to finally accede and surrender.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cPresident Trump has demonstrated once again that he is the greatest peacemaker of our time, and his unprecedented partnership with Prime Minister Netanyahu\u2014most recently demonstrated by the obliteration of Iran\u2019s nuclear weapons program in Operation Midnight Hammer\u2014proves that the U.S.-Israel relationship is stronger than ever,\u201d the RJC said. \u201cBoth nations are committed to a safer, securer and more prosperous future for the Middle East.\u201d<\/p>\n
