President Donald Trump reaffirmed his commitment to Israel’s security, stating, “We will help you security-wise, we will be there with you.” In a joint statement with Israeli officials, Trump announced his intention to stand alongside former British Prime Minister Tony Blair at the head of a body managing Gaza, despite his busy schedule. This move comes as Trump pushes a peace plan for Gaza, with journalist Amit Segal outlining key points: hostages will be returned within 72 hours of signing, 250 murderers will be released, and Hamas members surrendering weapons will receive pardons and exit options. A temporary government, run by a technocratic committee of Palestinians and internationals under Trump and Blair’s supervision, will manage Gaza, encouraging residents to stay and build a “better Gaza” without forced departure. The Palestinian Authority can only assume control after completing near-impossible 2020 reforms, with Hamas excluded from governance and fully disarmed under international commitment. The U.S. and others will deploy a stabilizing force, and Israel will not annex or occupy Gaza. The plan’s map legend shows current lines in blue, hostage release in yellow, and disarmament in red.
