Analysis
Left-leaning sources frame this story by foregrounding the severe humanitarian crisis and ongoing civilian casualties in Gaza, even amidst peace plan discussions. They emphasize Palestinian skepticism, portraying the plan as biased and imposing impossible conditions, while consistently highlighting the devastating impact of the Israeli offensive on the population.
"Netanyahu, despite being Israel’s longest-serving leader, faces fierce opposition in his own country related to his own domestic policies, the corruption charges he faces and disagreements over his failure to agree a deal to release the captives held in Gaza."
"Despite its small gains, Hamas appears to come out the big loser under the Trump plan."
"A 20-point plan was unveiled by US President Donald Trump to end the war on Gaza, with Israel’s prime minister by his side."
"The Trump proposal has widespread international support."
"The Israeli campaign in Gaza has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians and wounded nearly 170,000 others, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry."
"This moment must not be squandered."
"The 20-point Trump plan contains almost nothing else positive for the people of Palestine, analysts say."
"The renewed push to end Israel’s two-year war on Gaza comes as the Palestinian death toll has risen above 66,000 and the coastal enclave endures a humanitarian crisis."
"Hamas has few — if any — options other than to comply with a plan that does not include several of its conditions for a ceasefire."
"Palestinians say the plan ignores their rights and Israel’s war crimes."
"The 20-point plan calls for the disarmament of Hamas and bans it from any future political role in Gaza."
"The plan places Hamas between a rock and a hard place."
"The plan was welcomed in principle by leaders in Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Indonesia, Turkey, Pakistan and Egypt, who said they were ready to cooperate with the US to ensure its implementation."
"Despite everything we’ve lived through and lost in this war … I still have hope."
"The plan suggests that the Palestinian Authority can take over Gaza’s governance in the long run if it implements a series of reforms."
"Some of America’s key allies have backed Donald Trump’s peace plan for Gaza, after the president and the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, delivered an ultimatum to Hamas, warning the militant group to accept their 20-point plan or face the consequences."
"The Palestinian Authority joins regional leaders in welcoming US president’s 20-point peace plan to end war in Gaza."
"The end of the war will require seemingly insurmountable rebuilding, assuming the two sides can finally end this war."
"The plan sits with them."
"The proposal makes a reference to the prospect of Palestinian statehood behind a thick wall of cloudiness, conditions and qualifiers."
"The White House unveiled a 20-point plan to end Israel’s war in the Gaza Strip, which includes the release of all Israeli hostages within 72 hours and a modest withdrawal from Gaza."
"Trump has proposed a 20-point plan calling for an end to the war in Gaza, which includes the release of all remaining hostages held by Hamas and an outline for how he wants the region to be ruled after the war."
"The 20-point plan envisages Gaza as “a de-radicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours”."
"This is a journey that could take a very long time, and any kind of arrival, let alone a safe and comfortable one, is far from guaranteed."
"Nothing in this proposal or in Monday’s press conference indicates that any of the outside powers are ready to impose such pressure."
"Still, Trump appeared hopeful that after nearly two years of war, an end to the conflict – which has left tens of thousands dead and Gaza in ruins – may be at hand."
"The proposal marks the first time that Israel has publicly agreed to eventually withdraw from parts of the Gaza Strip and hand over territory to an international security force."
"Both Trump and Netanyahu made clear that they were not offering Hamas a choice in the matter."
"The proposal would effectively put the territory and its more than 2 million people under international control."
"The proposal outlines a comprehensive plan for the redevelopment of Gaza, aiming to create a prosperous economy and peaceful coexistence with its neighbors."
"The plan does not require people to leave Gaza and calls for the war to end immediately if both sides accept it."
"The White House has unveiled a 20-point proposal it says could bring an immediate halt to Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians and left the Palestinian enclave in ruins."
"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he supports US President Trump’s 20-point plan to end the war on Gaza."
"Trump has outlined a plan to end Israel’s war on Gaza that would see an Israeli withdrawal in phases, the return of all captives, and the “decommission” of Hamas’s military capabilities."
"The plan that we put forward today is focused on ending the war immediately, getting all of our hostages back, getting everything back, hard to believe when you even say it, and creating conditions for durable Israeli security and Palestinian success."
"Trump says “we’re beyond very close” to ending the war in Gaza after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House."
"Despite announcements that Hamas has accepted the Trump ceasefire proposal, the group said it has yet to receive anything from Trump."
"Despite the Trump administration’s optimism, it remained unclear whether Netanyahu would approve a plan that is not fundamentally different from the one that allowed for the January ceasefire."
"Israel has lost much of the international goodwill it once could count on."
"There is a growing sense within the White House that Trump will finally turn on his longtime ally if the Israeli leader does not support the president’s peace deal plans."
"Trump hopes to get Netanyahu’s agreement on a framework to end the war in the Palestinian territory and free the remaining hostages held by Hamas."
"The plan underscores that it does not want to forcibly expel Palestinians from Gaza, and that they will have a right of return if they choose to leave after two years of genocidal war has left most of the enclave in ruins."
"Netanyahu's transformation from cautious manager to regional gambler remains incomplete."
"Trump projected optimism on Sunday as his administration works to close a comprehensive plan that would include the release of all hostages held by Hamas."
Center-leaning sources frame this story by emphasizing the high stakes and urgency surrounding Trump's Gaza peace plan, particularly highlighting his ultimatum to Hamas. They use evaluative language to describe the humanitarian situation and Israel's campaign, while consistently framing the conflict's origin around the "terror attack." This collective approach underscores the pressure on Hamas to accept the proposal.
"Despite its small gains, Hamas appears to come out the big loser under the Trump plan."
"If Hamas rejects the deal, Trump said Israel would have "our full backing" to continue military operations in Gaza."
"Hamas and other Palestinian factions are leaning toward accepting President Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza, and they will present the group's response to Egyptian and Qatari mediators on Wednesday, a source close to the process told CBS News on Tuesday."
"Hamas faces a bitter tradeoff — the proposal demands that the group effectively surrender in return for uncertain gains."
"The plan has only a slight nod to the issue of statehood."
"This is the most serious effort yet to end the Gaza war, with broad Arab backing."
"The proposal demands that Hamas effectively surrender and disarm in return for an end to fighting, humanitarian aid for Palestinians and the promise of reconstruction in Gaza — all desperately hoped for by the population in the devastated territory where the death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has topped 66,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry."
"The proposal calls for the release of all remaining hostages immediately, but in no case, more than 72 hours."
"The plan states "full aid will be immediately sent" to Gaza, which has faced severe food shortages and has fallen into famine in some regions, according to the world's leading authority on food crises."
"The plan amounts to a shift in the Trump administration's position on a post-war future for Gaza, and adds more pressure than Washington has applied this year on Netanyahu to accept a deal."
"The key components of the proposal include the release of all living and dead hostages in Gaza, a requirement for Hamas to lay down its arms, a withdrawal of Israeli troops from the territory, the delivery of humanitarian aid and the installation of a civilian governing authority for Palestinians."
"The 20-point proposal, which Hamas is yet to accept, calls for a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a new governing body, overseen by a Trump-led “Board of Peace.”"
"Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough."
"The plan calls for the war to "immediately end” and pledges the release of hostages in Gaza within 72 hours, if both sides agree to the proposal."
"The plan appears to intentionally avoid direct talk of eventual Palestinian statehood."
"I believe that today, we're taking a critical step towards both ending the war in Gaza and setting the stage for dramatically advancing peace in the Middle East, and I think beyond the Middle East and very important Muslim countries."
"Trump told reporters he is "very confident" there will soon be peace in Gaza."
"Israel has lost much of the international goodwill it once could count on."
"Trump sounded optimistic about the possibility of a truce, despite past efforts repeatedly falling short."
"The Trump administration is making a concerted diplomatic push around the peace proposal, with US ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee set to take a rare trip to Egypt focused on Gaza."
"The uncertainty surrounding the meeting casts it as “one of the most critical” in the yearslong relationship between the two leaders."
Right-leaning sources collectively frame Trump's Gaza peace plan as a highly significant, comprehensive, and realistic path to peace. They emphasize the optimism of Trump and Netanyahu, highlighting the plan's alignment with Israeli objectives and presenting it as a decisive solution. The narrative is bolstered by an expert's strong endorsement, while critical perspectives or Palestinian viewpoints are largely marginalized.
