Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said on Thursday that US President Donald Trump’s proposed plan for Gaza “requires further discussions,” particularly regarding governance and security arrangements.

Speaking to reporters, Abdelatty noted that “Trump’s plan for the Gaza Strip has many gaps that need to be addressed.” He added, “If there is political will, I believe this plan for Gaza can be implemented on the ground, but it requires participation. We are very cautious and are now speaking with Hamas to know their reaction to this plan.”

Earlier in the day, Abdelatty confirmed that Cairo is working with Qatar and Turkey to persuade Hamas to accept Trump’s proposal to end the war in Gaza. He warned that “the conflict will escalate if Hamas refuses.”

Hamas is no pretext

Delivering remarks at the French Institute of International Relations in Paris, Abdelatty stressed the urgency of preventing further violence, “Let us not give any side a pretext to use Hamas as a justification for these insane daily massacres against civilians. What is happening goes far beyond October 7.”

Asked whether he feared Trump’s plan could lead to the forced displacement of Palestinians, Abdelatty was adamant: “Egypt will not accept that. It will not happen because displacement means the end of the Palestinian cause. We will not allow it under any circumstances.”

The statement underscores Egypt’s role as a key regional mediator while highlighting its red lines regarding any outcome that could result in Palestinian displacement.

US unveils Gaza plan

The White House has unveiled US President Donald Trump's plan to end the war on Gaza, following his talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday.

The United States will initiate a dialogue between "Israel" and the Palestinians to reach an agreement on a political horizon for a "peaceful and prosperous coexistence," the White House stated. 

The plan stipulates that within 72 hours of "Israel" accepting the ceasefire proposal, all Israeli captives, dead or alive, must be released, and if both sides accept, the war immediately ends.

According to the White House, the plan stated that if Hamas delays or rejects the proposal, the agreement, including a scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in what it described as "terror-free areas" that will be handed over from the IOF to the Israeli Security Forces (ISF).

Additionally, the plan outlines a future for Gaza as a "deradicalized, terror-free zone" that no longer poses a "threat" to its "neighbors", a transformation that will occur without Israeli occupation or annexation of the territory. During this period, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardments, will be suspended, as per the White House.

Trump says parties 'beyond very close' to a deal

In a press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump stated that “Israel” has agreed to his plan, emphasizing that they were “beyond very close” to forging the “peace deal”, adding that he hoped Hamas would also accept the proposal.

"I also want to thank Prime Minister Netanyahu for agreeing to the plan and for trusting that if we work together, we can bring an end to the death and destruction that we've seen for so many years, decades, even centuries and begin a new chapter of security, peace and prosperity for the entire region," the US president stated.

Netanyahu threw in a threat, stating that "if Hamas rejects your plan, Mr President, or if they supposedly accept it and then basically do everything to counter it, then Israel will finish the job by itself..."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed his support for the proposal put forward by Trump, saying, "I support your plan to end the war in Gaza, which achieves our war aims. It will bring back to Israel all our hostages, dismantle Hamas' military capabilities, end its political rule, and ensure that Gaza never again poses a threat to Israel."
