While speaking at a press briefing after the White House announced the 20-point Gaza peace plan, Trump praised several Arab leaders, including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, for their contributions and suggestions in the peace plan.

“I want to thank the leaders of many Arab and Muslim nations for their tremendous support in developing the proposal… My meetings and dialogue with the Saudi Arabia, the Emir of Qatar, the UAE, the King of Jordan… President Erdogan of Turkey, President of Indonesia, we were together,” Trump said while lauding world leaders for their support in the peace plan.

“It just came out as I was walking around. They (officials) said, ‘Sir you have a big notice from the Prime Minister of Pakistan and from the Field Marshal’ that they back this 100%,” Trump added.

Following this, Shehbaz Sharif took to X to welcome Trump’s proposal and said that a durable peace between Palestinians and Israelis is essential for political stability and economic growth in the region.

White House Announces Peace Plan

If both Israel and Hamas agree to Trump’s proposal, the war in Gaza will end immediately with the release of hostages and prisoners from the two sides and a demilitarisation. Following the release of hostages and disarmament of Hamas, Israeli forces will start withdrawing, with all military operations suspended and battle lines frozen.

Hamas would release all the Israeli hostages, dead or alive, within 72 hours of Israel accepting the proposal. Once the hostages are released, Israel will free 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans arrested after the start of the conflict on October 7, 2023.
