Trump Gaza Peace Plan has emerged as a significant new diplomatic initiative aimed at ending the prolonged conflict in Gaza. U.S. President Donald Trump announced a comprehensive 15-point peace proposal, claiming that Hamas has accepted the framework. However, Israel has not yet issued an official response.
According to the proposal, the plan seeks to end hostilities, facilitate the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, establish a new Palestinian civilian administration, and launch an internationally supported reconstruction effort.
Peace Framework Based on UN Resolution
The proposal states that all parties would commit to advancing the peace process under Trump’s broader Middle East initiative and United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 (2025).
The framework aims to:
- End the cycle of violence in Gaza.
- Secure a complete withdrawal of Israeli military forces.
- Restore normal civilian life.
- Establish a Palestinian-led administrative authority.
- Accelerate economic recovery and reconstruction.
Ceasefire and Israeli Military Withdrawal
Under the proposal, Israel would fulfill its remaining obligations under the Sharm el-Sheikh Protocol and halt military operations.
At the same time, Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups would cease all military activities.
Within 14 days, both sides would finalize a timetable for implementing the second phase of the agreement, including the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip.
New Civilian Administration for Gaza
The plan proposes transferring Gaza’s civilian governance to a newly created National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).
According to the proposal:
- Hamas and other Palestinian factions would hand over all civilian administrative responsibilities.
- Security-related duties would also be transferred to NCAG.
- Armed groups would not interfere with the committee’s operations during the transition.
- NCAG would continue public services, protect the rights of government employees, oversee public assets, and conduct financial and administrative audits with international assistance.
An International Verification Committee (IVC) would monitor compliance by all parties.
Hamas Disarmament at the Center of the Proposal
One of the plan’s most significant provisions focuses on Gaza’s future security structure.
The proposal calls for implementing the principle of “One Authority, One Law, One Weapon.”
Under this framework:
- All police weapons would be placed under NCAG control.
- Heavy weapons, military stockpiles, weapons manufacturing facilities, and underground tunnels would be dismantled in phases.
- Weapons currently held by militia groups would also come under NCAG supervision.
- No weapons would be transferred to Israel or any non-Palestinian party.
- Ultimately, only NCAG would retain the legal authority to possess and control weapons inside Gaza.
International Stabilization Force Proposed
The proposal also recommends deploying a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza.
Its responsibilities would include:
- Monitoring the ceasefire.
- Maintaining separation between Israeli forces and NCAG-controlled areas.
- Training Palestinian police personnel.
- Ensuring the secure delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Israeli Withdrawal and Civilian Protection
According to the proposal, Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza in phases following an agreed implementation schedule.
The document also emphasizes that no civilian would be forced to leave Gaza, addressing concerns about involuntary displacement.
Reconstruction and Economic Recovery
The final section of the proposal focuses on rebuilding Gaza.
The Board of Peace (BoP) and NCAG would jointly oversee:
- Raising international financial resources.
- Coordinating reconstruction projects.
- Establishing implementation timelines.
- Monitoring compliance with international legal standards and reconstruction guidelines.
Israel Yet to Issue Official Response
While the proposal reportedly has the support of Hamas, Israel has not officially commented on the framework.
The future of the initiative will likely depend on whether both parties agree to its terms and whether international stakeholders support its implementation.
