Trump Unveils Gaza Peace Plan, Divides Global Leaders
US President Donald Trump has unveiled a new peace plan for Gaza, drawing mixed reactions from global leaders and Palestinian factions. Islamic Jihad has slammed the proposal as 'a recipe for continued aggression', while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed it, warning Hamas of further consequences if it resists.
The plan, which aims to end the longstanding conflict, has been met with scepticism by Gaza residents who suspect it's a ploy to secure the release of Israeli hostages. Several European leaders, including Germany's Chancellor Friedrich Merz, Russia's Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, and China's foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun, have expressed support for the initiative. Notably, eight Arab or Muslim-majority nations, such as Egypt, Jordan, and the United Arab Emirates, have welcomed the US's role in brokering peace.
Washington's allies have urged Hamas to accept the plan, but the group has yet to comment extensively. The Palestinian Authority has offered support for Trump's efforts, describing them as 'sincere and determined'. Former Middle East Quartet envoy Tony Blair has praised the plan as 'bold and intelligent', suggesting it could bring 'immediate relief' to Gaza.
Trump's Gaza plan has sparked a range of responses, from support from several nations to scepticism from locals and silence from Hamas. As negotiations continue, the international community awaits a more detailed reaction from Hamas and a potential path towards peace.
