US President Donald Trump stated on Monday (local time) that the Gaza peace proposal, if accepted by Hamas, would mean the immediate end of the war. He made these remarks during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the proposal, if Hamas accepts, all remaining hostages would be released immediately, within 72 hours. Trump emphasized that this would signify the immediate end of the war itself, not just in Gaza.
Arab and Muslim countries have committed in writing to demilitarize Gaza and to decommission the military capabilities of Hamas and all other terror organizations immediately. This includes destroying all terror infrastructure, such as tunnels, weapons, and production facilities. “They have a lot of production facilities that were destroying,” Trump noted.
Expressing hope for an end to the violence, Trump said that Arab and Muslim countries likely have an understanding of how to deal with Hamas. He added that all parties would agree on a timeline for Israeli forces to withdraw in phases.
“No more shooting, hopefully,” Trump said. He stressed that as progress is made toward achieving these goals, Arab and Muslim nations need to be given the chance to fulfill their commitments in dealing with Hamas. However, if they are unable to do so, Israel would have the absolute right and full US backing to take further action.
“Israel will have my fallback to finish the job of destroying the threat of Hamas,” Trump added.
While not ruling out the possibility of Hamas rejecting the deal, Trump reiterated his full support to Israel in addressing the danger posed by Hamas.
Prime Minister Netanyahu detailed the plan, including the disarming of Hamas. He called for a peaceful civilian administration to govern Gaza and explicitly ruled out any role for Hamas or the Palestinian Authority.
“All our hostages, alive and dead, will return home. Hamas will be disarmed. Gaza will be demilitarized. Israel will retain security responsibility, including a security perimeter for the foreseeable future,” Netanyahu said.
He continued, “Gaza will have a peaceful civilian administration, run neither by Hamas nor by the Palestinian Authority. If Hamas agrees to your plan, the first step will be a withdrawal, followed by the release of all our hostages within 72 hours.”

At least 91 students remain trapped in concrete rubble almost two days after an Islamic school building collapsed on them, authorities said after reviewing attendance records and reports from anxious families of those missing.
More than 300 rescue workers desperately worked to free survivors Wednesday morning, following the collapse of the structure that fell on top of hundreds of people—mostly teen boys—who had been performing afternoon prayers on Monday in a prayer hall at the century-old al Khoziny Islamic boarding school in East Java province. The building was undergoing an unauthorised expansion at the time of the collapse.
At least three students have been confirmed dead, and 100 others were injured. The National Disaster Management Agency revised the number of people presumed buried in the rubble to 91 late Tuesday, up from the previous count of 38.
