On Mon, Sep 29, 2025, discussions were held between United States President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House concerning a proposed resolution to the conflict in Gaza. A 20-point peace plan was presented, aiming to address and potentially conclude the ongoing hostilities.
The proposed peace plan includes the establishment of a dialogue between Israel and Palestine. Within 72 hours of acceptance by Israel, all Israeli captives are to be released. In return, if both parties agree to the terms, the conflict will cease immediately.
Key stipulations include that Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza, and residents will not be forcibly displaced. Israeli forces are to withdraw to predetermined lines to facilitate the release of captives.
Upon the release of Israeli captives, Israel will release 250 Palestinians serving life sentences and 1,700 individuals detained from Gaza since the onset of the conflict on Oct 7, 2023.
The plan proposes United Nations oversight for the immediate provision of humanitarian supplies to Gaza. Additionally, an "international stability force" composed primarily of neighboring Muslim states is suggested.

A "Board of Peace" is to be instituted to oversee a technocratic administration in Gaza, chaired by President Trump and including other notable figures, such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Qatar is identified as a critical player in the negotiations, with the expectation to aid in convincing Hamas to accept the peace plan. The recent apology from Netanyahu to Qatar for airstrikes on Sep 9, 2025, is anticipated to facilitate Qatar's involvement.
The plan grants amnesty to Hamas members who accept peaceful coexistence, while others may relocate to unspecified countries. A significant challenge remains whether Hamas will agree to the proposal.
Potential discrepancies exist between the written plan and Netanyahu's stance, especially regarding the Palestinian Authority's role. The plan suggests potential reform of the Palestinian Authority could lead to a pathway to Palestinian statehood, whereas Netanyahu has expressed reservations about their involvement.
Large-scale humanitarian aid for Gaza is planned under UN and Red Crescent supervision. However, existing Israeli restrictions could impede these efforts.
