Broad international support for Trump's plan for Gaza
The proposal, which envisages the surrender of Hamas and the opening of the way to a two-state solution, has been welcomed by the Palestinian National Authority and several Arab countries, including Egypt and Qatar. In Europe, Spain, France, Italy and the United Kingdom, the initiative has been seen as an opportunity to unblock the conflict.
The President of theUnited States has presented a 20-point proposal, including the demilitarization of Gaza, the withdrawal of the Israeli army, the exchange of hostages by Palestinian prisoners and the transition sponsored by Washington, mediated by Tony Blair.
Donald Trump proposes an ultimatum to Binyamin Netanyahu: either Hamas approves the plan or the US fully supports Israel to destroy the Islamist organization. The proposal, which envisages the surrender of Hamas and the opening of a two-state solution, has been welcomed by the Palestinian National Authority and several Arab countries, including Egypt and Qatar.
French President Emmanuel Macron calls on Hamas to release the hostages immediately and advocates a "deep debate" on building lasting peace. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni believes Trump's proposal could be a "turning point" and insists that Italy will support the efforts of Washington and its European partners.
Portugal's Prime Minister, Luis Montenegro, has applauded the initiative because it "implements the principles that Portugal has always defended." On the other hand, Dutch Prime Minister Dick Schoof hopes that this plan will be a serious step towards a two-state solution.
Reactions took place early in the morning, with a broad international reception of a plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza and achieving lasting peace in the Middle East.
