President Donald J. Trump’s Comprehensive Plan to End the Conflict in Gaza
1. Gaza will be a zone free of radical terror, posing no threat to its neighbors.
2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of its residents, who have suffered long enough.
3. If both sides accept this proposal, the war will end immediately. Israeli forces will withdraw to an agreed line in preparation for the release of hostages. During this period, all military operations, including air and artillery strikes, will be suspended, and frontlines will remain frozen until the conditions for a full phased withdrawal are met.
4. Within 72 hours of Israel’s public acceptance of this agreement, all hostages, both living and deceased, will be returned.
5. Following the release of all hostages, Israel will release 250 prisoners serving life sentences and an additional 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, 2023, including all women and children detained in this context. For each Israeli hostage whose remains are returned, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans. After all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence and disarmament will receive amnesty. Hamas members wishing to leave Gaza will be granted safe passage to receiving countries.
6. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full-scale aid will be delivered immediately to Gaza. At minimum, aid quantities will match those included in the January 19, 2025 humanitarian aid agreement, including infrastructure repair (water, electricity, sewage), hospital and bakery restoration, and the entry of equipment needed for debris clearance and road reopening.
7. Aid distribution will take place without interference by either side, facilitated by the United Nations, the Red Crescent, and other neutral international institutions. The Rafah crossing will open in both directions under the same mechanism agreed on January 19, 2025. Gaza will be administered by a temporary Palestinian technocratic and apolitical committee, responsible for public services and local governance. This committee will consist of qualified Palestinians and international experts, under the supervision of a new transitional body, the “Council of Peace,” chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of state to be announced, including former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will define the framework and manage funding for Gaza’s development until the Palestinian Authority completes its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including Trump’s 2020 Peace Plan and the Saudi-French initiative, and can safely and effectively resume control over Gaza. This body will apply the highest international standards to establish modern, effective governance that serves Gaza’s population and attracts investment.
8. Trump’s economic development plan for Gaza will be shaped by a panel of experts involved in building some of the Middle East’s most successful modern cities. Numerous international proposals for investment and development will be considered, combining security and governance frameworks to attract and enable investments that create jobs, opportunities, and hope for Gaza’s future.
9. A special economic zone with preferential tariffs and market access will be negotiated with participating countries. No one will be forced to leave Gaza; those who wish to leave may do so freely, with the option to return. Residents will be encouraged to stay and offered opportunities to build a better Gaza.
10. Hamas and other factions will have no role in Gaza’s governance, directly or indirectly. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapons facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. Gaza will undergo disarmament under the supervision of independent inspectors, including the permanent removal of unusable weapons through a mutually agreed dismantling process, supported by an internationally funded buyback and reintegration program, all verified by inspectors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and peaceful coexistence with its neighbors.
11. Regional partners will provide guarantees ensuring Hamas and other factions fulfill their commitments, and that Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or citizens.
12. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to be deployed in Gaza immediately. The ISF will train and support vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza and coordinate with Jordan and Egypt, which have extensive experience in this field. This force will provide a long-term internal security solution. The ISF will also work with Israel and Egypt to secure border areas alongside newly trained Palestinian police. It will be essential to prevent weapons smuggling into Gaza while facilitating the rapid and safe flow of goods for reconstruction and revitalization. A conflict-resolution mechanism will be agreed upon.
13. Israel will neither occupy nor annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timelines tied to demilitarization, agreed upon by the IDF, ISF, Arab partners, and the United States, to ensure Gaza no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or their citizens. In practice, the IDF will gradually hand over areas of Gaza it occupies to the ISF under the transitional authority agreement, until a full withdrawal, except for a limited security presence maintained until Gaza is fully secured against renewed terror threats. If Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above measures, including expanded aid operations, will continue in terror-free areas handed over by the IDF to the Palestinian security force.
14. An interfaith dialogue process will be launched, based on values of tolerance and peaceful coexistence, aiming to shift narratives and mindsets among Palestinians and Israelis by highlighting the benefits of peace.
15. As Gaza’s redevelopment progresses and the Palestinian Authority faithfully implements its reform plan, conditions may finally emerge for a credible path to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, recognized as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.
16. The United States will initiate a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous coexistence.
