“The president wants to see an overall peace. It’s about how this might percolate into all other areas in the Middle East—and what it’s going to achieve, maybe even percolate into Russia–Ukraine,” Trump’s Middle East envoy told Fox News.
On Monday, Trump unveiled a 20-point plan to resolve the situation in Gaza. The proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire on the condition that hostages are released within 72 hours.
The plan also stipulates that Hamas and other groups must agree not to take part in governing Gaza, either directly or indirectly. Control of the enclave would be handed over to technocratic authorities under the supervision of an international body headed by Trump himself.
