In a rapidly evolving geopolitical landscape, the reactions from both Palestinians in Gaza and Israelis in Jerusalem to Donald Trump’s recently unveiled peace plan for ending the war have been varied.
In Jerusalem, Israelis expressed a cautious welcome to the proposed blueprint, though concerns were raised about Hamas’s willingness to disarm after nearly two years of intense fighting in Gaza.
Meanwhile, in the besieged Gaza Strip, displaced residents voiced their worries about whether the plan adequately considers their urgent needs. Some also expressed apprehension regarding Trump’s past remarks about potential resort development on the land.
The new proposal, which includes the establishment of a “board of peace” led by Trump to oversee a transitional administration in Gaza, has garnered supportive responses from leaders across Europe and the Middle East.
