Trump's 20-Point Gaza Plan Divides Residents: Hope vs. Scepticism
US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan to end the Gaza conflict has sparked mixed reactions among Gaza residents. While some hold onto hope for peace, many view the Trump plan with scepticism and pessimism. Trump's plan, unveiled in September 2025, includes an immediate ceasefire, hostage releases, Palestinian prisoner freedom, and a future Gaza administration excluding Hamas. Israel has expressed support. However, locals are divided in their opinions. Mohammed al-Beltaji, a 47-year-old from Gaza City, sees the negotiations as a recurring game where Israel and Hamas take turns agreeing and refusing, with the people paying the price. Najwa Muslim, a 29-year-old homemaker, has lost faith in the deal, believing that if there was genuine intent to stop the war, it wouldn't have taken so long. Ibrahim Joudeh thinks the Trump plan's conditions are designed to be rejected by Hamas, ensuring the conflict continues. On Monday, at least 30 people were killed across Gaza in Israeli strikes, further fueling the locals' pessimism. Abu Mazen Nassar, a 52-year-old displaced resident, considers the Trump plan a manipulation to secure hostage releases without guarantees of peace. Ibrahim Joudeh, a 39-year-old computer programmer, finds the Trump plan unrealistic and believes it will prolong the war and suffering. Despite the hardships faced, Anas Sorour, a 31-year-old street vendor, still hopes for an end to the war. The Trump plan has sparked debate and uncertainty among Gaza residents. While some remain hopeful for peace, many view the Trump plan with scepticism due to the ongoing conflict and the perceived lack of guarantees for a lasting solution.
