The United States has urged the UN Security Council to rally behind its draft resolution supporting President Donald Trump's peace plan for Gaza. On Thursday (Nov 13), the nation warned that any delay could lead to Palestinians suffering "grave" consequences. In a sharp message, the US mission to the UN said divisions inside the Council at this stage would carry grave, "tangible" and entirely preventable consequences for Palestinians in Gaza.

Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said on Tuesday (Sep 30) that US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan to end the conflict “will end in tears”. Launching a criticism of the US proposal, which Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accepted during his White House visit on Monday (Sep 29), the minister called it a “resounding diplomatic failure.” This comes a day after Trump and Netanyahu met in Washington to discuss the 20-point peace proposal.In a lengthy post on X, Smotrich said the celebrations over the plan were premature. He described the plan as giving up “real achievements on the ground for political illusions… a diplomatic bear hug and glittering ceremonies.”He further added that allowing a Palestinian security force into Gaza and Qatar becoming a “central player” marked a “historic missed opportunity to finally break free from the shackles of Oslo, a resounding diplomatic failure, a closing of eyes and turning our backs on all the lessons of October 7th, and in my estimation, it will also end in tears. Our children will be forced to fight in Gaza again.”“A tragedy of leadership fleeing from the truth. Is there still a chance that something sweet will come from this bitterness? That the enemy’s obstinacy will once again save us from ourselves, as it has many times in the past, and reality will force us to return to the path of heroism and victory and taking responsibility for our fate and security, this time with broader international support?” he wrote.He added, “Given the reality that has emerged in the face of international pressure, the destructive hostage campaign, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s initial unwillingness to conquer Gaza and adopt Trump’s original plan, the military foot-dragging and lack of success in bringing the military leadership to where we want, the faltering coalition, and the natural exhaustion after two years of war—given all this, is there no choice, and is this the maximum that can be achieved right now?”“The celebrations since yesterday are simply absurd,” he concluded.

‘Resounding diplomatic failure’: Israeli far-right minister says Trump’s Gaza plan ‘will end in tears’

US President Donald Trump on Monday (Sep 29) presented a detailed plan to end the Gaza war, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backing it and warning Hamas to accept or face further military action. The proposal mixes security guarantees for Israel with promises of aid, governance reforms, and economic revival for Gaza. Here are the 10 key takeaways:<h2>1. Immediate ceasefire and hostage release</h2>If both sides accept, Israel will halt all military operations. Hamas will have 72 hours to return hostages from October 7, alive or dead. Israel will free 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life terms, 1,700 Gazans detained during the war, and exchange the remains of Palestinians for those of Israeli hostages.Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/muslim-nations-back-trump-s-gaza-peace-plan-but-will-hamas-accept-the-deal-1759193878046">Key Muslim nations back Trump’s Gaza peace plan — but will Hamas accept the deal?</a><h2>2. Phased Israeli withdrawal</h2>Secondly, the Israel Defence Forces will pull back in stages as conditions are met. A full exit will follow once demilitarisation benchmarks are verified and a security mechanism is in place.<h2>3. Trump the 'peacemaker'</h2>A new “Board of Peace” will act as the transactional authority, and it will be headed by none other than Trump. It will also include other world leaders, including former UK prime minister Tony Blair. This body will oversee governance and direct aid flows until local Palestinian institutions are ready to take over.<h2>4.

Role of Hamas</h2>Hamas will not govern Gaza. However, members who surrender arms and accept peaceful coexistence will be granted amnesty or safe passage out of the territory.<h2>6. International Stabilisation Force</h2>An international force, backed by Arab partners, will deploy to Gaza to train Palestinian police, secure borders, and prevent arms smuggling. Indonesia has already shown willingness to contribute troops.<h2>7. Humanitarian surge</h2>Aid will be scaled up immediately, with UN and Red Crescent agencies overseeing delivery.

Gaza’s economic reboot</h2>The plan envisions Gaza as a “special economic zone” with preferential trade terms. Development projects would focus on jobs, infrastructure, and housing, aiming to turn the enclave into a hub of opportunity.It must be noted that Trump previously expressed an interest in developing property in the territory. He even posted an AI-generated video imagining scenes of him and Netanyahu sunbathing in Gaza, and portraying a resort called "TRUMP GAZA" where Gaza's ruins once stood.<h2>9. Palestinian Authority’s future unsure</h2>While Netanyahu rejects current Palestinian Authority involvement, the plan leaves room for the Authority once it completes reforms backed by international partners like France and Saudi Arabia.It suggests allowing the Palestinian Authority a role, once it completes its "reform program". However, speaking alongside Trump, Netanyahu said he saw "no role whatsoever" for the Palestinian Authority without it "undergoing a radical and genuine transformation."<h2>10. A pathway to Palestinian statehood</h2>For the first time in years, the door to statehood is explicitly mentioned. The plan acknowledges Palestinian aspirations and says conditions may soon allow credible steps toward self-determination."The conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognise as the aspiration of the Palestinian people," the plan says. &nbsp;

Donald Trump has unveiled a plan to end the Gaza war, which has already received Netanyahu’s backing. From ceasefire and aid to Gaza’s economic reboot and a path to statehood, the deal is bold and controversial. Read the full breakdown of what’s at stake.

International Stabilisation Force An international force, backed by Arab partners, will deploy to Gaza to train Palestinian police, secure borders, and prevent arms smuggling. Indonesia has already shown willingness to contribute troops. 7. Humanitarian surge Aid will be scaled up immediately, with UN and Red Crescent agencies overseeing delivery. Priorities include restoring power, water, hospitals, bakeries, and clearing rubble. https://www.wionews.com/videos/breaking-trump-says-israel-will-not-annex-gaza-reveals-plan-to-end-war-1759173663956/embed 8. Gaza’s economic reboot The plan envisions Gaza as a “special economic zone” with preferential trade terms. Development projects would focus on jobs, infrastructure, and housing, aiming to turn the enclave into a hub of opportunity. It must be noted that Trump previously expressed an interest in developing property in the territory. He even posted an AI-generated video imagining scenes of him and Netanyahu sunbathing in Gaza, and portraying a resort called "TRUMP GAZA" where Gaza's ruins once stood. 9. Palestinian Authority’s future unsure While Netanyahu rejects current Palestinian Authority involvement, the plan leaves room for the Authority once it completes reforms backed by international partners like France and Saudi Arabia. It suggests allowing the Palestinian Authority a role, once it completes its "reform program". However, speaking alongside Trump, Netanyahu said he saw "no role whatsoever" for the Palestinian Authority without it "undergoing a radical and genuine transformation." 10. A pathway to Palestinian statehood For the first time in years, the door to statehood is explicitly mentioned. The plan acknowledges Palestinian aspirations and says conditions may soon allow credible steps toward self-determination. "The conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognise as the aspiration of the Palestinian people," the plan says.

Donald Trump has unveiled a plan to end the Gaza war, which has already received Netanyahu’s backing. From ceasefire and aid to Gaza’s economic reboot and a path to statehood, the deal is bold and controversial. Read the full breakdown of what’s at stake.
