Netanyahu Accepts Trump’s Peace Plan to End Gaza War
The protracted war in Gaza may soon come to an end after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday accepted a 20-point peace proposal presented by United States President Donald Trump.
Both leaders announced the development at a joint press briefing held at the White House, which President Trump described as “a historic day for peace.”
The peace framework, according to officials, includes a permanent ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli troops from parts of Gaza, the release of hostages, as well as the establishment of internationally monitored humanitarian corridors.
The plan also provides for the gradual rebuilding of Gaza with support from a coalition of donor nations and regional stakeholders.
Netanyahu, while affirming his government’s acceptance of the proposal, said Israel was committed to “ensuring security while giving room for peace and reconstruction.” He, however, insisted that any implementation would be carried out in phases to guarantee what he called Israel’s “non-negotiable security interests.”
The US President urged both Israeli and Palestinian leadership to embrace the plan fully, stressing that the proposal was “the best chance in decades to end the cycle of bloodshed and suffering.” He added that Washington would work closely with regional powers and the United Nations to supervise the implementation process.
Human rights groups and the UN, which have described Israel’s war on Gaza as genocidal, welcomed the news cautiously, saying the key measure of success would be in genuine commitment to protecting civilians and ensuring justice for victims of the conflict.
Reactions are expected from Palestinian leaders and militant groups, whose response will determine the sustainability of the deal.
If the plan holds, it could mark the most significant breakthrough in the Middle East peace process in years, potentially reshaping regional alliances and offering hope for long-term stability.
