                      'peace' plan; Trump challenges Palestinians</a></strong></p>
                <h2>Key provisions of the plan</h2>
                <p>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\u2019s future governance.</p>
                <p>The plan calls for:</p>
                <ul>
                  <li>An immediate ceasefire and the release of all
                    Israeli captives held by Hamas.</li>
                  <li>The disarmament of Hamas and exclusion of the
                    group from any political or administrative role in
                    Gaza.</li>
                  <li>A gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from the
                    territory.</li>
                  <li>Deployment of a temporary international
                    stabilization force.</li>
                  <li>Establishment of a transitional authority chaired
                    by Trump himself, alongside foreign leaders, to
                    oversee Gaza\u2019s reconstruction and security.</li>
                  <li>The US president also envisions Gaza being rebuilt
                    into a thriving economic hub, with large-scale
                    redevelopment projects and foreign investment.</li>
                </ul>
                <h2>Palestinians skeptic of Trump's plan</h2>
                <p>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.</p>
                <p>\u201cIt\u2019s clear that this plan is unrealistic,\u201d Ibrahim
                  Joudeh, a 39-year-old computer programmer displaced
                  from Rafah told <em>AFP</em>.</p>
                <p>Another displaced resident, Abu Mazen Nassar,
                  described the initiative as manipulation. \u201cWhat 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.\u201d</p>
                <p>While some expressed cautious optimism, others had
                  lost hope altogether. \u201cIf there was a real intention
                  to stop the war, they wouldn\u2019t have waited this long,\u201d
                  said Najwa Muslim, a homemaker from Gaza City. \u201cThat\u2019s
                  why I don\u2019t believe any of their words.\u201d</p>
