New York – The United States has introduced a comprehensive 21-point proposal aimed at resolving the ongoing conflict in Gaza and establishing long-term stability in the Middle East. The plan, presented on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York, outlines a multi-faceted approach to de-escalation and future governance, marking a significant policy shift for President Donald Trump.

The sweeping initiative calls for an immediate ceasefire, a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, and the disarmament of Hamas. It also includes a structured pathway towards eventual Palestinian statehood, addressing key demands from various international stakeholders. Officials familiar with the initiative noted that the document was discreetly shared with a select group of Arab and Muslim nations prior to its public unveiling.

Key provisions of the proposal include the immediate release of all hostages and an offer of amnesty for Hamas members who renounce violence. Additionally, the plan emphasizes the necessity of international oversight for Gaza’s reconstruction efforts, a critical component for rebuilding the war-torn territory. This approach contrasts sharply with President Trump's earlier stance, which had previously suggested relocating Gaza's two million residents and dismissed the concept of a two-state solution.

The announcement signifies a dramatic shift in U.S. foreign policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, aiming to restart dialogue and achieve a lasting resolution. The international community is now closely watching for reactions from key regional players and the involved parties, as the feasibility and implementation of such a comprehensive plan will depend heavily on their acceptance and cooperation. The proposal seeks to lay a new foundation for peace, moving beyond past stalemates.
