What to Make of Trump’s Gaza Plan?

This week on Hold Your Fire!, Richard talks with Crisis Group experts Michael Hanna, Max Rodenbeck, Amjad Iraqi and Mairav Zonszein about Donald Trump’s proposed Gaza peace plan, who might benefit from it, the many uncertainties it raises, and what it could mean for Gaza’s future.


In this episode of Hold Your Fire!, Richard speaks with Crisis Group experts Michael Hanna, Max Rodenbeck, Amjad Iraqi and Mairav Zonszein about President Donald Trump’s new 20-point proposal to end the war in Gaza. They unpack how the plan emerged and the external pressure surrounding it, against the backdrop of Israel’s 9 September strike in Doha targeting Hamas leaders, its ongoing ground offensive in Gaza City, and the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in the strip. They discuss what the proposal entails, who might benefit, the key uncertainties around its provisions and timeline, how Palestinians are reacting, and what it could mean for future governance in Gaza and for easing the humanitarian crisis. They also discuss responses inside Israel, including among Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right coalition partners, and how Arab and European capitals, having already thrown their support behind the plan, should move forward. The episode was recorded before Hamas responded to the plan.
