Jerusalem: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed on Sunday that Israel is considering a ceasefire proposal in Gaza, just a day before his scheduled meeting with US President Donald Trump. However, he clarified that the plan is still under review and not finalized.
📝 Peace Deal Discussions with Trump’s Team
Netanyahu revealed that his government is working closely with Trump’s team on a 21-point peace agreement aimed at ending the prolonged conflict.
“We are working on a ceasefire proposal. It hasn’t been finalized yet, but we are working on it with President Trump’s team. We hope we can do it,” Netanyahu told an American media outlet.
According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, the conflict has claimed the lives of 66,000 people so far. The staggering toll has drawn intensifying international pressure on Israel to halt its military operations.
🔑 Key Provisions of the Peace Proposal
The proposed 21-point plan includes:
Release of all Israeli hostages within 48 hours
Complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza
Allowing Hamas members to leave Gaza freely if they agree to disarm and release hostages
Despite these provisions, Netanyahu has reiterated his demand for the total elimination of Hamas, maintaining a firm stance while offering conditional leniency.
🌍 International Pressure Mounts
Global outrage against Israel escalated after its recent strike on Hamas leaders’ hideouts in Doha, Qatar, an attack that even drew criticism from President Trump.
Since then, ceasefire negotiations have stalled, but Western nations and Arab governments continue to push for a breakthrough.
Several countries have recognized Palestine at the UN General Assembly
The European Union is weighing a sports and cultural boycott of Israel
US diplomatic pressure is also mounting on Netanyahu’s government
⚖️ What Lies Ahead
With Netanyahu expected to meet Trump on Monday, the outcome of their talks could prove pivotal for the Gaza ceasefire negotiations. Whether the 21-point plan will move forward or collapse under political divisions remains uncertain.
