What is Trump's Gaza peace plan?

Donald Trump's peace plan, as released in a report by the New York Times, calls for immediate ceasefire in Gaza and for the territory to be “de-radicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors”.

It also proposes redevelopment of Gaza for the “benefit of the people of Gaza”.

The plan calls for withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and release of Israeli hostages by Hamas. It also says that after the war, “Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza.”

Hamas and all its factions will require to not have any role in the governance of Gaza “directly, indirectly, or in any form”, according to the plan.
