On September 29, 2025 Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly endorsed former President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace proposal, a dramatic development that immediately changes the diplomatic playing field. The endorsement came at a joint appearance that signaled Israel is ready to back a plan framed as the only realistic path to remove Hamas’s grip on Gaza and bring hostages home.
The plan, reportedly a 20-point blueprint assembled by Trump’s team and outside advisers, ties immediate steps to the return of hostages, the dismantling of Hamas’s military capabilities, and a temporary international governance arrangement for Gaza. It stipulates a quick timeline for hostage returns and insists on Hamas disarming and losing political control as preconditions for reconstruction and normalized relations. These are not cosmetic concessions; they are the hard edges of a deal that finally puts Israeli security first.
Regional reactions are predictably mixed, with some Arab states and the Palestinian Authority signaling cautious engagement while others and many Western critics blasted the proposal as impractical or even unlawful. The global left and international institutions rushed to denounce the very notion of changing Gaza’s governance, but their outrage has never stopped Hamas’s brutality or brought a single hostage home. The fact remains that stubborn dictators and terror proxies respond only to strength, not moralizing lectures from coastal elites.
At the center of this bet is Hamas itself — the plan lives or dies on whether the terrorist organization will accept disarmament and free the remaining hostages. So far Hamas has offered no meaningful commitment, and the administration and Israeli leaders have made clear there are consequences if the group refuses, including continued military pressure with U.S. backing. The choice facing Gaza’s rulers is stark: disarm and rebuild under international supervision, or face being uprooted and defeated.
Patriotic Americans should cheer leaders who finally align words with the single objective that matters: return our people and neutralize a murderous regime. President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu deserve credit for presenting a plan that prioritizes victims over virtue signaling, and conservatives must push for unwavering support until Hamas is gone. If the left and the international bureaucrats want to protect extremists, let them; hardworking allies who value life and liberty will stand with Israel until the job is finished.
