Eight Arab and Muslim nations 
<https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/trump-to-unveil-gaza-post-war-plan-to-arab-and-muslim-leader> 
— Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Turkiye, 
Indonesia, and Pakistan — issued a joint statement Tuesday welcoming US 
President Donald Trump’s newly announced plan to end the war in Gaza.

The countries said they “welcome the role of the American president and 
his sincere efforts aimed at ending the war in Gaza” and pledged to 
“engage positively and constructively with the United States and the 
parties toward finalising the agreement and ensuring its implementation.”


      France's Macron praises Trump

French President Emmanuel Macron also praised Trump’s “commitment” to 
resolving the conflict, urging Hamas

to release all hostages and calling on Israel to “commit resolutely” to 
the initiative.


      Tony Blair to join 'Board of Peace'

Former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair hailed the plan as “bold and 
intelligent,” arguing it could relieve Gaza’s population while ensuring 
Israel’s long-term security. Blair is expected to join a transitional 
“Board of Peace” for Gaza

which Trump has said he will chair.


      Palestinian Authority wlecomes US efforts

The Palestinian Authority likewise welcomed Trump’s “sincere and 
determined efforts,” expressing confidence in his capacity to steer the 
conflict toward peace.

    Key provisions of the plan

Unveiled Monday at the White House with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin 
Netanyahu in attendance, the 20-point proposal outlines a phased 
ceasefire and a framework for Gaza’s future governance.

The plan calls for:

  * An immediate ceasefire and the release of all Israeli captives held
    by Hamas.
  * The disarmament of Hamas and exclusion of the group from any
    political or administrative role in Gaza.
  * A gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the territory.
  * Deployment of a temporary international stabilization force.
  * Establishment of a transitional authority chaired by Trump himself,
    alongside foreign leaders, to oversee Gaza’s reconstruction and
    security.
  * The US president also envisions Gaza being rebuilt into a thriving
    economic hub, with large-scale redevelopment projects and foreign
    investment.


    Palestinians skeptic of Trump's plan

On the ground, reactions in Gaza reflected deep mistrust. Many displaced 
residents said the plan was detached from reality and failed to address 
Palestinian rights.

“It’s clear that this plan is unrealistic,” Ibrahim Joudeh, a 
39-year-old computer programmer displaced from Rafah told /AFP/.

Another displaced resident, Abu Mazen Nassar, described the initiative 
as manipulation. “What does it mean to hand over all the prisoners 
without official guarantees to end the war? We as a people will not 
accept this farce.”

While some expressed cautious optimism, others had lost hope altogether. 
“If there was a real intention to stop the war, they wouldn’t have 
waited this long,” said Najwa Muslim, a homemaker from Gaza City. 
“That’s why I don’t believe any of their words.”
