Episode notes
Peace Plan Lacks Hamas Participation
- The Trump plan is a 20-point proposal for Gaza that excludes Hamas from negotiations and governance.
- It promises ceasefire, hostage release, UN-led aid, and no forced displacement of Palestinians.
Policy Shifts On Gaza Residency And Aid
- Trump shifted from earlier remarks and now accepts Gazans can remain in Gaza if they choose.
- The plan also places UN in charge of aid distribution, replacing Israeli control for now.
Qatar Apology Used As Diplomatic Leverage
- Trump forced Netanyahu to call Qatar's prime minister to apologise after Israeli strikes there.
- The move served both diplomatic and leverage purposes given Qatar's link to Hamas.
