The Latest:
On Monday, President Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point plan with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to end the war in Gaza. The proposal includes a hostage–prisoner exchange, humanitarian aid deliveries, a demilitarization framework, and a transitional governance structure for Gaza. Netanyahu endorsed the plan, though Israel has not formally accepted it. Hamas has said it is reviewing the details.

Key Details:

The Left’s View:
Many liberal commentators remain skeptical. Outlets like Drop Site News called the plan a “rubber stamp” for Israeli dominance, arguing it forces Palestinians into disarmament without real guarantees of statehood. Others, such as The Washington Post’s David Ignatius, praised the plan’s ambition, calling Trump’s “Board of Peace” a possible game changer — though warning the proposal is heavy on hope, light on practical enforcement.

The Right’s View:
Conservatives broadly support the plan as a bold step. The Wall Street Journal said the deal puts the pressure squarely on Hamas, framing it as a “take it or leave it” proposition. Commentators like Newsweek’s Josh Hammer doubted Hamas would ever comply but argued the proposal strengthens Israel’s hand, either delivering peace or justifying Israel’s final push to eliminate Hamas.

Voices from the Middle East:
Israeli outlets, such as The Jerusalem Post, see an opportunity but caution that Hamas must be held to account if it delays or rejects the deal. Arab writers, however, have criticized the plan as denying Palestinians meaningful agency. In Middle East Eye, Ismail Patel argued the proposal “imposes external control” while leaving statehood vague and conditional.

The Trump plan is notable for its scope: it blends elements of ceasefire, reconstruction, and long-term governance into a single package. Its strengths lie in clear incentives — prisoner exchanges, aid deliveries, and international backing — alongside the demand for Hamas’s disarmament. But the sticking points are significant: Palestinians may see disarmament as surrender without guarantees of statehood, while Israelis may distrust Hamas’s compliance.

Ultimately, the plan reflects the broader reality: Israel holds military leverage, Hamas faces mounting pressure, and Arab leaders want a way out of the conflict. Whether this proposal delivers peace depends less on its design and more on whether Hamas, Israel, and regional powers are willing to make concessions. For now, it’s the most detailed framework yet on the table — and perhaps the clearest test of whether either side is ready to end the war.
