The plan has been welcomed by several Western nations, including France and Italy, as well as Arab and Muslim countries, such as Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Pakistan.

If the plan is accepted by both sides, the war is to end immediately, with all captives held in Gaza alive and dead returned within 72 hours, and Palestinian prisoners released. The Gaza Strip is to be temporarily governed by a Palestinian technocratic government, with no role for Hamas, and Israel will not annex Gaza, as per Al Jazeera.

Adam Boehler, the US presidential envoy for captive affairs, has asked Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal to accept the 20-point plan put forward by Trump, describing it as a deal where everyone wins, as per Al Jazeera.

I want him to listen and hear that he was just offered something by two world leaders, two of the greatest world leaders... and Khaled has an opportunity to be great himself, and I believe that he will take it, Boehler said, as quoted by Al Jazeera. (ANI)
