While the Israelis have all but agreed to the proposal, Hamas said they haven’t seen the entirety of it, and thus haven’t committed to its terms nor commented on it. An international force might also offer Palestinians some additional protections which were impossible since Oct. 7,” Kalisman said. In 2020, during Trump’s first administration, an Israeli-Palestinian peace proposal was put forth, which would’ve required the Palestinian Authority to recognize Israeli settlements in the West Bank as legitimate. Five years later, Trump’s new proposal again disregards the Palestinian Authority’s right to govern Gaza or the West Bank. “As the proposal is written, there is no real place for the Palestinian Authority in the future government of Gaza without accepting Trump’s 2020 peace plan,” Kalisman said.
