Cairo (EFE).- US President Donald Trump proposed a transitional government in Gaza without Hamas and the release of all hostages held by the group, an Egyptian security official told EFE on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The source, who requested anonymity, said the plan was shared with Arab and Islamic leaders during a meeting with Trump on Tuesday on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proposal offers Hamas leaders immunity from Israeli assassination inside or outside Gaza, conditional amnesty for members in the enclave, and arrangements for those who wish to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once both sides accept the plan, the war would end immediately, and a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza would begin, the source said. Within 48 hours of Israel\u2019s public acceptance, Israeli hostages and bodies would start being returned gradually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israel would then release hundreds of Palestinians serving life terms, 1,000 detainees arrested in Gaza since the start of the war, and the remains of hundreds of Palestinians, the source said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The plan envisions an interim administration of Palestinian technocrats under an international commission led by the United States with Arab and European partners, pending reforms to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It also foresees a temporary international force under US and Arab command to ensure security and train a local Palestinian police force.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regional states would provide security guarantees, while more than 600 aid trucks a day would enter Gaza under UN and NGO distribution programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The proposal also calls for a program to dismantle extremist ideology, launch Israel-Palestinian dialogue, and pave the way toward a future Palestinian state in Gaza and the West Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump has not disclosed the full details of the plan. On Thursday he said in the Oval Office that Israel and Hamas were \u201cvery close\u201d to an agreement on a Gaza ceasefire. In a meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Trump demanded Hamas release all hostages taken in the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nearly two years of Israeli operations in Gaza have left more than 65,000 dead, including over 19,000 children, which Arab and Islamic countries, international groups and European countries describe as \u201cgenocide.\u201d EFE<\/p>\n\n\n\n
