Episode notes
20-Point Plan Promises Quick Resolution
- The Trump plan is a 20-point framework promising a quick end to fighting, hostage returns, and a new Gaza government without Hamas.
- Netanyahu agreed 'for now' while warning Israel will continue fighting if Hamas rejects the terms.
New Gaza Governance Structure Proposed
- The plan would install a committee of 'qualified Palestinians and international experts' to govern Gaza, overseen by a 'board of peace' chaired by Trump.
- It explicitly excludes Hamas from governance and pairs hostage returns with Israeli prisoner releases and expanded aid access.
Vague Economic Rebuilding Promise

- Earlier imagery from Trump suggested an ambitious, resort-like rebuilding vision, yet specifics remain unknown.
