Important Reminder: As you read this article—or any other news story about “peace talks,” hostage deals, disarming Hamas, etc.—remember: our hope is not in man, but in Hashem.

Do not be deceived: this is not true peace. Releasing terrorists is repeating past mistakes. Withdrawing from Gaza is repeating past mistakes. Attempting to create a “deradicalized” government is repeating past mistakes. Negotiating with terrorists is repeating past mistakes.

Trust in Hashem, not in human schemes.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has instructed the formation of an Israeli delegation, led by Minister Ron Dermer, to depart for Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, on Monday, to engage in negotiations based on the 20-point “peace plan” proposed by President Donald Trump. The talks aim to address several critical issues, including the release of hostages, a ceasefire, the disarmament of Hamas, and the establishment of a transitional governance structure in Gaza.

Key Points of the Negotiations:

Hostage and Prisoner Exchange: The plan proposes the release of 48 hostages, approximately 20 of whom are believed to be alive, in exchange for Palestinian terrorist prisoners held in Israeli custody. This exchange is expected to commence within three days of the agreement.

Ceasefire and Disarmament: The negotiations will focus on implementing an immediate ceasefire, with Hamas agreeing to surrender its weapons. In return, Israel would gradually withdraw its forces from Gaza, and a U.S.-led transnational authority would assume control over the region’s governance.

International Involvement: The plan includes the deployment of an international stabilization force, robust humanitarian aid, and the establishment of a governance framework that excludes Hamas but offers amnesty to those who renounce violence.

A Hamas Terror “official” has indicated that the organization is prepared to disarm and has begun collecting the bodies of Israeli hostages killed in Gaza. The official also mentioned that Hamas has informed the United States of its willingness to hand over its weapons to a joint Palestinian–Egyptian body under international supervision. However, Hamas has expressed reservations about the full implementation of the disarmament provisions.

International Support:

The proposed peace plan has received backing from U.S. President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Additionally, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz has expressed support for the initiative. However, concerns remain regarding the logistics of the deal and long-term governance in Gaza.
