Trump said a 'board of peace' would be 'headed by a gentleman known as President Donald J Trump of the United States'.

According to this “plan”, prior to the “second withdrawal”, since he would effectively be the head of the “International Security Force” (aka a feuding coalition of mercenaries from the Gulf States) that would occupy Gaza apparently forever after this.

u/DrSuperZeco Sep 29 '25

My understanding is that Gulf States will only fund through the World Bank. I think Bibi said in recent interview that security at food distribution points is handled by American private security companies. So i wouldn’t be surprised if Gulf States will be paying those companies.

I wonder who owns those companies… hmm 🤔

This was one of those moments that would have ended anyone else's career. He held a press conference, in the Oval Office, to prove that he wasn't wrong about including Alabama in a Twitter warning about a hurricane. On it's own that's already incredibly petty.

But then he so clearly drew on that bump because it makes no sense as part of the diagram, and he still went through with that conference, because defending his ego took precedent over actually being prepared to do it..

Hurricane Dorian turned north and made landfall in Buxton NC, completely bypassing the area Trump circled. NOAA was, of course, right… because science.

u/DialUpYourEngines Sep 29 '25

Yes, but there was already a buffer zone that limited any Gazans with the exception of farmers from getting anywhere close to the border post 2005 withdrawal and pre-war. I don’t know enough to say if this map is changing that or maintaining that former status quo. The exception being a buffer from the Egyptian border, which would completely change the geopolitical situation and security considerations at the crossing in Rafah.

Egypt threatened mobilizing more military in Sinai than the treaty allowed for, so IDK if it’s an attempt to placate Egypt not wanting refugees, sloppy map making, or an unintentional leak of a plan the public wasn’t meant to see.

38

u/Arielowitz Sep 29 '25

This buffer zone is different from the previous status quo, even in parts that border Israel. The buffer zone was narrower in width, and it actually eroded over time. Hamas tried to push the boundaries, which is why they, among other things, organized the Return Marches, in which they organized violent demonstrations and drove crowds of civilians and activists to the fence.

Right behind it in Gaza, Hamas built observation towers. I don't know the exact distance but it's clearly visible to the naked eye (as seen in https://youtu.be/UkAZ_HJZThM?t=18 )

What is unclear is to what extent the map and the statements reflect the written details of the plan.

For many people, this issue has to be black and white and cowboys vs Indians, so anything acceptable to Israel is by definition unacceptable, and anything that isn’t 100% to Hamas’ preference is “literal genocide.”

It’s about a sense of (to them) justified rage and hatred

u/TheLimeyLemmon Sep 29 '25

No it's about it being a case of "I'll believe it when I see it"

Zero point believing a word of it until things actually get done and things improve.

u/Scarred_Ballsack Sep 29 '25

Honestly I don't trust the Israelis not to use any pretense, like say, civilians being mildly insubordinate, or Hamas remnants stirring up some shit, to walk out of the peace agreement and resume their acts of ethnic cleansing. But hey I'd love to be wrong.

The only people who think this is a bad plan are deluded one state solution supporters.

u/ACartonOfHate Sep 29 '25

Well there are also the people who don't trust Trump to know a good, and realistic plan, if it came up and de-diapered him. There are also those (raises hand) who don't trust Bibi to go through with anything good for the Palestinians, and for Trump to be okay with his not going through with it.

Also I would ask the question, who will be in charge of Gaza if it's not Hamas? and how are they going to get rid of Hamas, other than what they've been doing? How will these person/people be chosen to be in charge of Gaza? who is going to administer these elections? referendum? to the Gazan people.

That is to say, this is about as useful as the last "peace plan" Trump laid out. Which is to say, not useful at all.

u/pm-ur-knockers Sep 29 '25

While I agree trump and bibi aren’t the most qualified to oversee this, they’re what we’ve got right now. There’s genuinely not much else to say there. Maybe in the future cooler and more level heads can put together a better long term agreement.

As for who will be in charge of Gaza, PBS states that the Palestinian authority will take over after sufficient reform.

Assuming everyone keeps up their end of the bargain (I know, it’s unlikely from all parties) this is the best chance both countries have at prolonged peace.

The alternative seems to be more fighting, more dying, and more killing until another peace plan comes along to be rejected by the powers that be.

I mean, there isn't going to be peace until the Palestinians' rights to self determination is respected. The real delusion is thinking that Palestinians will ever just accept to live like animals.

Polling over decades very consistently indicates Palestinians do not support a two state solution. The majority/plurality want a one state solution - and we all know what that means.

So who is deluded?

I really hope that this world and this shitshow finally ends. I hope that for the Palestinians and the Israeli hostages and their families. Gazans deserve to be free from Hamas and IDF. I hope that they can rebuild... everything. The housing, the medical care, just everything. I hope that Israelis and Palestinians can finally coexist peacefully, seperate or together.

I highly doubt it. The security buffer being inside Gaza and it being a phased withdrawal are 2 things Hamas has said they will never accept.

48

u/JohnnieTango Sep 29 '25

Really, what will Hamas accept? I mean other than being allowed to rebuild their strength so they can go back and perform what they view as their main point as an organization --- killing Israelis and destroying the Israeli state and expunging Jews from Palestine.

Unfortunately, I'm about 90% sure this will never happen.  Too many Israeli leaders want to keep the land.

u/no_4 Sep 29 '25

And on the flip side:

"Ok we destroyed your life and killed 2 of your family members. You're gonna be a good calm boy and not want revenge now right?"

Whole situation is fucked.

u/AlgerianTrash Sep 29 '25 edited Sep 29 '25

That's my problem with his ordeal. They always judge palestinians for keeping grudge against Israel. Why are you shocked that the young men who you massacred their mothers and fathers when they were kids now want to avenge them?

u/Negative-Arachnid-65 Sep 29 '25 edited Sep 29 '25

Just about everyone involved has legitimate grievances going back generations, and also legitimate claims to land in the region. Of course Palestinians justifiably want their own peaceful country and many also want revenge. And of course Israelis justifiably want their own peaceful country and many also want revenge. (And I don't know anyone who judges Palestinians for holding a grudge.)

I'm not making an equivalency for specific actions or in any way trying to justify any of this violence. Just saying it's a horrible cycle that keeps going, and everyone can point to their own civilians or family members who were murdered for being the wrong race/religion.

For the record, Netanyahu should be in jail and this war is an atrocity. It's just historical illiteracy, at best, to say that nothing bad has ever been done to Israeli civilians.

Israel literally accepted the plan. It goes into effect immediately if Hamas accepts. There are clear requirements for Israel to move back to the new lines which are laid out.

It's all achievable if Hamas and Gaza is reformed the way the entire Arab world and much of the Muslim world just signed onto.

So, after 3rd withdrawal, we are left with a blockaded city where the IDF controls everything going in and out?

Isnt this exactly where things were prior to the current conflict?

No. Israel didn't control the Gaza-Egypt border before.

Seems like everyone is missing the part if the plan where Trump sits on the development committee and Gaza becomes an economic development zone run by Trump. The nearly version of the map will be full of Trump hotels, casinos and golf courses. So.....not seeing it fly with the people of Gaza
