Over the next few days, Hamas will be studying Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza.
The proposal, already approved by Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, would disarm the Palestinian movement and end its presence in the Gaza Strip.
In fact, it will take Gaza completely out of Palestinian hands.
There are a number of points that will be welcomed by large sections of Palestinian society.
The deal would secure the release of 250 prisoners with life sentences, as well 1,700 Palestinians from Gaza who have been detained in horrifying conditions since October 2023.
The text even notes that “all women and children detained in that context” would be released – suggesting an admission of guilt that they have been held deliberately as bargaining chips.
It notes that if all sides agree to the deal, “full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip”. That aid would enter, without interference, through the UN and its agencies, the Red Crescent, and other institutions “not associated in any manner with either party”.
That would appear to spell the end of the highly controversial US- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Again, the wording acknowledges Israeli violations, clearly suggesting that aid was not being allowed in sufficiently and that it was being distributed by an organisation associated with Israel.
But there is significant wiggle room for Israel in much of the agreement, due to the ambiguous and vague talk of timelines.
An “International Stabilisation Force” (ISF) will be deployed in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Israeli military “will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarisation” to be agreed upon between Israel, the ISF, the US and global guarantors.
What those milestones and timeframes will be is anyone’s guess at this point.
“There is no plan in the sense of something sufficiently substantive and detailed that could be implemented – no granularity around the specifics of timelines and maps,” Daniel Levy, a British-Israeli analyst and former peace negotiator, told MEE.
“That is by design. It allows Israel to blame the other side when either a deal is not reached or when Netanyahu decides to desist from implementing and resumes the genocide assault.”
Annelle Sheline, a former US State Department official who resigned over the Gaza war, agreed that the plan was intentionally vague and recalled the failed 1993 Oslo Accords.
“Furthermore, similar to Oslo, there are no penalties (for Israel) if it fails to adhere to the terms. Therefore, Israel has no incentive to ensure that it complies with the agreement, a standard feature of American proposals for ‘resolving’ the conflict,” she told MEE.
Notably unlike the previous ceasefire deal in January, in which Israel was compelled to withdraw to a perimeter area 900 metres around Gaza, under Trump’s plan, Israel will initially occupy large cities such as Rafah, Khan Younis, Jabalia and Beit Hanoun.
An end to ethnic cleansing?
When it comes to the displacement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, there appears to be a shift in Trump’s language.
While in February he spoke of “owning Gaza” and expelling its inhabitants to make way for the “Riviera of the Middle East”, the language has now softened.
The proposal states: “No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return.”
It adds that people will be encouraged to stay in Gaza, and will be offered the opportunity “to build a better life”.
Analysts are sceptical as to whether this will be the reality.
Abed Abou Shhadeh, a Palestinian political analyst based in Jaffa, told MEE that part of the reason that forcible displacement was not spelled out was because Israel could not find a third country to house them.
“In case they do find a third country, they will continue pushing more Palestinians out,” he said. “Whether that’s through a deal, or people leaving for humanitarian reasons.”
Abou Shhadeh notes that Israel has invested a lot of time, including by setting up a government agency, into what it describes as the “voluntary departure” plan.
“People in the West underestimate the seriousness of Israelis with its plan to expel Palestinians,” he said, adding that plans to destroy Gaza’s tunnel infrastructure – hinted at in the proposal – could make the enclave even more unlivable.
Qossay Hamed, an expert on Hamas and academic at Al-Quds Open University in Ramallah, agrees.
“The plan doesn’t include displacement of Gaza but the inhuman conditions might force people to leave,” he told MEE. “The Israelis and Americans know Gaza is no longer suitable for human living.”
‘For Blair, everything is about GDP and economics’

As for future governance, the plan would see an international board, dubbed the “Board of Peace”, take over Gaza in a transitional period.
Trump would head up the board with the support of Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, and other heads of states and figures.
A leaked report published by Haaretz on Monday indicated that the board would be made up of billionaires and businesspeople at the top, while highly vetted “neutral” Palestinian administrators would sit at the bottom.
“It reads more like a charter for a reborn Dutch East India company than a document of the 21st century,” said Levy.
“Remember it’s a plan produced without consulting either of the Palestinian factions who have to agree to this ceasefire,” he added, in reference to Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, which administers some of the occupied West Bank and is slated to eventually take over Gaza following “reforms”.
Levy described Trump appointing himself as head of the “peace board” with Blair as his “underling” would be the “stuff of comedy” – if it didn’t seal the fate of so many lives.
The language used in both Trump’s plan and the Blair proposal reflects that of a business, with talk of boards, a chairman, and a CEO, rather than of a country or territory
Abou Shhadeh said this is a deliberate attempt to strip Palestinian history.
“For Blair, everything is about GDP and economics,” he said. “It’s as if there isn’t any national history, narrative or livelihood. It doesn’t exist in Blair’s lexicon.”
He said for that reason, not only Hamas, but even the PA (in its current format) were not wanted as part of this plan: “They don’t want any political entity, they want corporations.”
Abou Shhadeh said that such a reality was a tried and tested method in US history – deliberately exploiting vulnerable people to accept conditions they wouldn’t otherwise have.
“Nobody has the moral right to judge Palestinians who just want a ceasefire,” he said. “The Americans and Israelis know this.”
Sheline added that Blair should know all about this, given his involvement in the Iraq war.
“There is a reason that the Coalition Provisional Authority, established by the US to govern Iraq after it overthrew Saddam Hussein, was never viewed as legitimate by Iraqis, nor were the successor interim governments – these were all viewed as puppet governments set up by the United States,” she said.
She added that foreign occupation, as the plan posits, “will always provoke resistance”.
“Given that the conditions set up provide for ongoing occupation and no form of justice or restitution for the abuses and violence that Palestinians have been subjected to for decades, to say nothing of the genocide of the past two years, it is a complete fantasy to imagine that resistance will cease to exist in Gaza,” she said.
Towards the end of the 20-point plan, an interfaith dialogue is suggested that would be held to promote peaceful co-existence “to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis”.
Meanwhile, while acknowledging the Palestinians’ will for an independent state, nothing is tying the Israelis to helping establish one.
The appetite for peaceful co-existence and some form of Palestinian statehood among Israelis is low, particularly in its government. Netanyahu has repeatedly promised to scupper any chance of a Palestinian state being set up.
“There has been little to no discussion of the need to ‘de-radicalise’ Israeli society, the majority of which remains in favour of the genocidal policies of mass murder and starvation that their government has inflicted upon Palestinians in Gaza,” said Sheline.
After the Charlie Kirk hoax you have to wonder if they pulled off 9/11 without any real deaths, the purpose being the planned hype in reaction to false-flag in order to justify the continued aggression in the Middle East. Just wondering, but the evidence is they were using AI back then and also putting objects seamlessly into film was a known art by then in the movie industry. Also, they had hologram technology. The buildings were coming down anyway and we know each building came down in a controlled demolition. The ownership, the insurance fraud, the wiring for the demolition work, and most of the wet work was entirely a Jewish-Israeli operation. There were many Americans on to it from the beginning but either were ignored, silenced or sidelined by the very US establishment apparatus which facilitated the bloody hands. We know that virtually every second floor of the towers had been vacated for months before the operation, and that in the summer months before event, a large Israeli team posing as art students were busy in those floors. Also, there is evidence that many people who worked in the building were warned beforehand not to attend work that day.
Without actual planes striking the buildings, then what happened to the passengers. Were they brought somewhere, killed, and cremated as “loose ends”. We now know there it was not a plane which went into the Pentagon, and in total there were 4 airplanes of passengers. If they did not kill half of them by actually sending them remotely on a programed flight into the two towers then if there were such planes and passengers, did they just land them some place else and herd them into hangers and murder them? Did they really exist, or was it all psyop except for the actual and very planned demolitions, which without the psyop overlay and billions in insurance payments would have been a very expensive undertaking for Mr. Silverstein. But did any Americans really die? Did this Jewish-Isreali mafia with the blessings, direction, and helps of the entire US deep-state, together with the media and political apparatus deliberately send 200 firemen to their deaths, or were the men who allegedly died also fictitious? Were the horrific images of the jumpers and falling bodies which we apparetnly saw in the film which was fed to us, real, or were they superimposed images, and in some cases dummies pushed out of windows by the Israeli art team who were skirted out of the country after the event along with the Israeli dancers posing as Muslims cheering the spectacle from afar? Did they really murder some 3,000 people in the upper floors who were not warned? Did they need real causalities, real deaths, and real losses and mourning to create the resolve in the American people to invade Afghanistan and then Iraq, with all of the “remember 9/11” propaganda?
Or, as with Kirk, who most likely is still alive, are there places in the US where instead of killing innocent people in such operations they are given new identities and protection? If they can successfully do it for thousands in their witness protection programs they can do it for a few thousand more, but surely if someone was separated from loved ones so unwillingly they eventually would come out of the woodwork, and that has not happened as of yet, which means that either they never really existed in the beginning or that they were DELIBERATELY MURDERED by the very government and establishment ruling over them whom they TRUSTED.
That same trusted government and establishment appears to have had no qualms about murdering innocent people anywhere in the world. When we consider what they did in Iraq and the wars they caused in Syria and the Ukraine, we cannot be surprised that they would murder thousands of their own people for any purpose they deemed fit. The slaughter in Gaza gives us a very clear picture of the kind of people running things.
As a returning guest on Judge Napoliotano’s show, Matt Hoh near the end of his video says there’s talk of the Italians calling for a coordinated strike across Europe this weekend to refuse to handle Israeli goods. I’ve heard both Friday and Saturday so there may be some confusion.

Tony Blair – The Return of the Prodigal Son
by T Stokes | May 9, 2012
The Biblical story at Luke 15:11:32 tells us of a wastrel son who wanders off, realises his sins and then returns home broken and penitent.
The news that Tony Blair is preparing to re-enter British politics, tells us a great deal about the current situation in the British Labour party. The ruling party leader, Ed Milliband denied his own brother the chance to gain the Labour leadership, and as a foreign Jew parachuted into place is viewed by many with some suspicion.
Nonetheless, its worth remembering that each time a political party gets into power in Britain it’s not because the public want them, but rather because they are desperate to get the incumbents out. In the most recent elections 70% of the electorate did not vote and of those who did many wrote the names of fictional characters on their ballot papers.
This mounting cynicism over the political process amounts to the public’s recognition, if only subliminally, that the game is rigged and far from being “free and fair” elections are in effect a loaded dice.
John Smith Doubts about the integrity of the political process have been growing ever since Labour Party leader John Smith, known as “The Prime Minister who never was”, died suddenly on May 12th 1994.
Like many politicians, Smith was a leading lawyer who went on to become Secretary of State for Trade under Callaghan before becoming the Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer. Both positions would have been ideal stepping-stones had he ended up taking up residence in Number 10, Downing Street.
In both positions John Smith made an impression and was twice named as Parliamentary speaker of the year. Although he was sharp, sarcastic and cutting he always made his point and in the process made many enemies too.
In 1988 he was given an Electrocardiography (ECG) in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary where the cardiac specialist told him: “whatever it is, it is not your heart”.
In other words John Smith was in good health and tipped to lead the Labour Party to victory in the next election. However like Robin Cook who suffered an unexpected heart attack while walking in the Scottish highlands, Smith died equally unexpectedly after he too suffered a massive heart attack on May 12, 1994.
The 55-year-old leader of the opposition suffered his first attack at his central London flat.
He suffered a second heart attack in the ambulance on its way to hospital and was pronounced dead at 0915 BST.
While Smith’s death took his political friends and foes by surprise, it conveniently opened the door for Tony Blair to take over as the Labour Party chief.
History however, has a nasty habit of repeating itself.
A similar chain of events had occurred nearly 30-years earlier when the then Labour leader Hugh Gaitskell died after visiting the Soviet embassy in January 1963. Like John Smith and Robin Cook, Gaitskell was a fit man in his fifties with no prior record of heart problems.
Nonetheless, a sudden and unexpected heart attack killed Gaitskell and conveniently opened the way for Harold Wilson; which pleased the Soviets as his policies played right into their hands, and led to suspicions of foul play as like John Smith, Gaitskell was poised to become prime minister.
The Porton Down disease specialist, Dr. Ladell later secretly reviewed Gaitskell’s death and concluded that he was indeed probably murdered.
The similarities between the deaths of both these potential prime ministers and those who conveniently replaced them raise many questions. For both deaths opened the doors of power to those who seemed ready to serve interests other the national interest.
If Tony Blair returns to the political arena, the word is that although Ed Milliband is not on par with Gaitskell or John Smith, he should avoid walking in the remote Scottish hills.
tony blair is toxic and his own doctor said he was a psychopath

DEIR AL-BALAH—Displaced Palestinians in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, on Wednesday were trying to set up the most basic of amenities in their tent encampment—a makeshift water line—when an Israeli drone strike smashed into them. Shrapnel tore through flesh and bone, killing four, wounding nine, and destroying several tents.
“Ali Hassan al-Masri, a nurse, is now a martyr. There are no more words,” the brother of one of those killed told people crowded at the entrance of Al-Aqsa hospital as the bodies arrived in the back of a small pickup truck wrapped in blankets. Al-Masri’s mother rode in the back with them, raising her bloodied hands in the air and wailing in grief. They were among 77 bodies and 222 injured that arrived at hospitals across Gaza over 24 hours, the Ministry of Health in Gaza said on Thursday morning
