TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Donald Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday, September 29, 2025, marking their fourth meeting this year.
The U.S. presented a detailed 21-point plan aimed at ending the ongoing conflict in Gaza and paving the way for long-term stability in the region.
Trump, writing on Truth Social on Sunday, September 28, described the plan as a pathway to “greatness in the Middle East” and urged an end to the war in Gaza.
Netanyahu confirmed that Israel was working with the U.S. to implement the plan, though he has not committed to accepting it in full, according to Ynetnews.
The “Day After Plan”
The plan, dubbed the “Day After Plan,” was first presented at the United Nations General Assembly in New York last week to Arab and Muslim leaders. Its goals include the release of hostages, Israeli troop withdrawal, the reconstruction of Gaza, and the eventual establishment of a Palestinian state.
Hamas stated on September 28 that it had not received a new proposal from mediators in Egypt and Qatar, though both countries reportedly have copies of the U.S. document.
The group indicated it is open to considering new offers to end the conflict.
Key Points of the U.S. 21-Point Plan
According to the Times of Israel, the following are the contents of the plan, which have been paraphrased at the request of the sources who provided it.
1. Gaza will be a de-radicalized, terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.
2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of its people.
3. If Israel and Hamas agree to the proposal, the war will immediately end, with the IDF halting all operations and gradually withdrawing from the Strip.
4. Within 48 hours of Israel publicly accepting the deal, all living and deceased hostages will be returned.
5. Once the hostages are returned, Israel will free several hundred Palestinian security prisoners serving life sentences and over 1,000 Gazans arrested since the start of the war, along with the bodies of several hundred Palestinians.
6. Once the hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful coexistence will be granted amnesty, while members who wish to leave the Strip will be granted safe passage to receiving countries.
7. Once this agreement is reached, aid will surge into the Strip at rates no lower than the benchmarks set in the January 2025 hostage deal, which included 600 trucks of aid per day, along with the rehabilitation of critical infrastructure and the entry of equipment for removing rubble.
8. Aid will be distributed, without interference from either side, by the United Nations and the Red Crescent, along with other international organizations not associated with either Israel or Hamas.
9. Gaza will be administered by a temporary, transitional government of Palestinian technocrats who will be responsible for providing day-to-day services for the people of the Strip.
10. An economic plan will be created to rebuild Gaza through the convening of experts with experience in constructing modern Middle East cities and through the consideration of existing plans aimed at attracting investments and creating jobs.
11. An economic zone will be established, with reduced tariffs and access rates to be negotiated by participating countries.
12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, but those who choose to leave will be allowed to return.
13. Hamas will have no role in Gaza’s governance whatsoever.
14. A security guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas and other Gaza factions comply with their obligations and that Gaza ceases to pose a threat to Israel or its own people.
15. The US will work with Arab and other international partners to develop a temporary international stabilization force that will immediately deploy in Gaza to oversee security in the Strip.
16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza, and the IDF will gradually hand over territory it currently occupies, as the replacement security forces establish control and stability in the Strip.
17. If Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above points will proceed in terror-free areas, which the IDF will gradually hand over to the international stabilization force.
18. Israel agrees not to carry out future strikes in Qatar. The US and the international community acknowledge Doha’s important mediating role in the Gaza conflict.
19. A process will be established to de-radicalize the population. This will include an interfaith dialogue aimed at changing mindsets and narratives in Israel and Gaza.
20. When Gaza’s redevelopment has been advanced and the PA reform program has been implemented, the conditions may be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian statehood, which is recognized as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.
21. The US will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful coexistence.
