US President Donald Trump’s newly announced 20-point Gaza peace plan has added urgency to a war that has long devastated Palestinians. Still, if Israel accepts a ceasefire, Palestinians could finally gain relief after years of relentless suffering. This plan was not written overnight; it likely involved months of consultations, including with some Muslim States. Hamas would be excluded from governance, replaced temporarily by a technocratic board of foreign experts and a few Palestinian representatives. Trump’s plan, despite its flaws, does reopen the conversation about structured peace.
