The 20 points US President Donald Trump announced as part of his Gaza plan this week were not in line with the draft proposed by a group of Muslim-majority countries, announced Pakistani Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar.
In a statement on Friday, Dar revealed that changes were made to the plan, which Trump then presented at the White House after a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
"I have made it clear that these 20 points which Trump has made public are not ours. These are not the same as ours. I say that some changes have been made in it, in the draft we had," the Pakistani FM stated.
The plan that US President Donald Trump declared on Monday would supposedly end the war waged by "Israel" and require the return of all captives, both living and dead, within 72 hours of a ceasefire, while disarming the Palestinian Resistance and consolidating control of the Strip to Western powers.
Palestinian Resistance set to reject Trump's Gaza plan
According to Al Mayadeen's analyst and expert on Palestinian Resistance affairs, Hani al-Dali, there is "no difference or disagreement" among Palestinian Resistance factions in rejecting US President Donald Trump's plot for Gaza.
Al-Dali emphasized that all factions are aligned in their opposition and underlined that the Trump Gaza plan is viewed as an attempt to undermine Palestinian sovereignty and resistance.
He stated that the rejection of the plan would be "couched in diplomatic terms" due to its underlying objective of subjugation, stressing that Hamas "insists that the response be national and from all factions," reflecting a unified stance against external pressures on the Gaza Strip administration.
Trump unveils loaded Gaza ceasefire plan
On September 29, the White House unveiled the details of a proposed ceasefire for the Gaza Strip, asserting that the war would end immediately if both parties agreed to the terms, following a meeting between Trump and Netanyahu at the White House.
The plan stipulates that, should "Israel" accept the ceasefire proposal, all Israeli captives, both the living and the deceased, must be released within a 72-hour period, and if both parties agree to the terms, the war will end immediately.
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 Israeli occupation forces to the Israeli Security Forces.
Notably, the plan outlines that Gaza will be placed under a temporary transitional governance administered by a technocratic and apolitical Palestinian committee, which will be comprised of qualified Palestinians and international experts and operate under the oversight of a new international transitional body. This committee will be chaired by Trump, with its other members, including heads of state such as former Prime Minister Tony Blair, to be announced at a later date.
Furthermore, the plan envisions a future for Gaza as a "deradicalized, terror-free zone" that no longer poses a threat to its neighbors, a transformation it asserts will be achieved without Israeli occupation or annexation of the territory.
According to the White House, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardments, will be suspended for the duration of this period.
