As Trump and Netanyahu Meet, New Gaza Governance Proposals Surface
With Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former U.S. President Donald J. Trump set to meet at the White House on Monday, September 29, 2025, fresh peace proposals aimed at ending the brutal Gaza conflict and establishing a postwar governance framework are gaining traction.
What’s in the Trump Plan?
According to sources at the United Nations General Assembly, U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff recently outlined the core tenets of a new American peace initiative during closed-door meetings with leaders from Arab and Muslim-majority nations.
Key Components of Proposed Peace Frameworks
- Immediate ceasefire conditions
- Humanitarian corridor expansion
- Postwar civil administration model
- Security guarantees for Israel
- Reconstruction funding mechanisms
Current Stalemate: Hamas vs. Israel
Despite diplomatic momentum, Hamas stated on Sunday that it has received no new offers from mediators, calling negotiations “at a standstill.” Meanwhile, Israel has intensified its ground offensive in Gaza City, with Netanyahu vowing to continue military operations.
| Stakeholder | Position | Key Demand |
|---|---|---|
| Israel | Continues military campaign | Destruction of Hamas military infrastructure |
| Hamas | Negotiations stalled | Lifting of blockade and prisoner release |
| U.S. (Trump Administration) | Pushing new peace plan | Regional buy-in for postwar governance |
Why This Summit Matters
The Monday meeting between Trump and Netanyahu could mark a turning point—or another false dawn. Previous optimistic statements from Trump have not yielded lasting agreements, but the inclusion of regional actors and a structured postwar vision may signal a more durable approach.
