Controversy Over Trump's Gaza Plan Amendments

U.S. President Donald Trump announced a 20-point plan for Gaza, which Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar criticized for differing from a draft proposed by Muslim-majority countries. The plan, aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas conflict, includes returning hostages and refers to a redeveloped area as 'New Gaza.'

U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled a controversial 20-point Gaza plan that has drawn criticism for significant departures from a proposal by Muslim-majority countries. Pakistani Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar expressed discontent over the amendments, indicating a lack of alignment with their draft.

During a parliamentary session, Dar emphasized that Trump's proposal, announced on Monday, deviates from their original terms. He made it clear to lawmakers that the 20 points presented do not reflect their conditions, signaling alterations have been made.

The plan seeks to resolve the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict by mandating the return of all hostages within 72 hours post-ceasefire and envisions a developed 'New Gaza.' However, its success hinges upon acceptance by Hamas, which initiated hostilities against Israel on October 7, 2023.
