Palestinians in Gaza and Israelis in Jerusalem have been responding to a recently announced plan by U.S. President Donald Trump aimed at resolving the conflict between Israel and Hamas. The proposal was presented on Monday in collaboration with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In Jerusalem, some residents expressed support for the proposed plan but raised doubts regarding the likelihood of Hamas agreeing to disarm after almost two years of ongoing hostilities in Gaza. Their concerns reflect a broader uncertainty regarding the feasibility of peace amid the prolonged conflict.
Conversely, displaced individuals in Gaza voiced apprehensions about whether their needs and rights would be adequately addressed in the plan. They noted previous statements by Trump, which included mentions of developing resorts on their land, prompting questions about the intentions behind the proposal.
The initiative includes the establishment of a “board of peace,” led by Trump, to oversee a transitional administration in Gaza. This element of the plan has garnered backing from various leaders in Europe and the Middle East, suggesting a level of international interest in the initiative.
As reactions unfold, both local communities and international observers continue to evaluate the potential implications and effectiveness of this new approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
