Western media outlets on Saturday reported details of “the Trump 21-point plan for peace in the Middle East and Gaza.” The Washington Post said it obtained a copy of the plan, verified by officials from two governments familiar with the discussions.

According to the report, the proposal calls for an immediate halt to all military operations in Gaza as the first step toward ending the war. The Times of Israel separately noted that the framework draws heavily from former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair’s earlier proposal for resolving the Israel-Hamas conflict.

WaPo added that if both sides agree, existing “battle lines” would be frozen, with 20 living hostages and the remains of more than two dozen others set to be released within 48 hours.

West Asia-based news outlet Al-Arabiya said that the plan will be presented to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the latter travels to the White House.

The Times of Israel reported that the contents of the plan were shared with the paper by sources who requested they be paraphrased.

This is what the 21-point plan looks like, as per the Israeli newspaper.

1. Gaza would be turned into a de-radicalised, terror-free zone that poses no threat to its neighbours.
2. The enclave would be redeveloped with a focus on the welfare of its residents.
3. If both Israel and Hamas sign on, the war would end immediately, with the Israeli military halting operations and pulling out in phases.
4. Within 48 hours of Israel publicly accepting the plan, all hostages—both living and deceased—would be handed back.
5. Once that happens, Israel would release several hundred Palestinian prisoners serving life terms, more than 1,000 Gazans detained since the war began, and return the bodies of hundreds of Palestinians.
