Israeli Estimates: Trump's Plan to Stop the War in Gaza is Feasible with Modifications

Political sources in Israel estimate that U.S. President Donald Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza may be feasible with limited modifications, according to the Hebrew newspaper "Yedioth Ahronoth".

The plan includes a broad prisoner exchange deal, a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army, and arrangements for managing the sector after the war.

According to informed sources, Israel finds most of the items acceptable, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wishes to modify some points, particularly regarding the closure of the humanitarian aid fund for Gaza, where he insists on its continuation. Israel also opposes including prominent figures like Marwan Barghouti in the prisoner release deal.
Before his anticipated meeting with President Trump at the White House, Netanyahu faces varying pressures within the ruling coalition. National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir emphasized the need to "completely defeat Hamas," while Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar expressed his support for Netanyahu, considering that "the interest lies in ending the war and achieving its objectives".
The main points of the American initiative:

Immediate cessation of military operations in Gaza.


Release of all Israeli prisoners within 48 hours.


Release of thousands of Palestinian prisoners, including up to 200 serving life sentences.


Introduction of extensive humanitarian aid through the United Nations and international organizations.


Collection of Hamas weapons by an Arab and international force.


Gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army from the sector according to a timeline.


Temporary administration of Gaza by an Arab-international body, followed by the formation of a Palestinian committee under the supervision of the Palestinian Authority.


Creation of a security corridor around Gaza with a depth of between 500 and 1000 meters.


Reconstruction of the sector funded by Arab and international sources over more than five years.


Granting amnesty to Hamas leaders in exchange for their withdrawal and surrender of weapons.


Call to resume direct negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians.

Media reports clarified that the plan stipulates two phases for the temporary administration of the sector: the first with an international body, followed by a Palestinian committee, without a specific timeline for transferring authority to the Palestinian Authority. The plan also excludes any role for Hamas in governance and does not include a U.S. commitment to establish a Palestinian state, but only acknowledges the "aspiration of the Palestinians" in this direction.
