The plan has been criticized because it mainly advances Israel’s objectives. Palestinian representatives were not involved in drafting the plan, which raises concerns about fairness and inclusivity. Without Palestinian input, the plan cannot address the needs of both sides effectively.

On October 7, 2023, Hamas carried out an attack on Israel. In response, Israel declared it would “destroy” Hamas, which led to severe destruction in Gaza and displacement of civilians. This context is crucial to understanding the urgency and content of the peace plan.

The plan explicitly promises an immediate ceasefire if all hostages held by Hamas are released. This is a conditional concession aimed at reducing hostilities temporarily, rather than addressing long-term governance issues.

The plan proposes that Gaza be governed by a ‘Board of Peace’ chaired by Donald Trump. This arrangement suggests a high degree of foreign control over Gaza, highlighting the plan’s criticism for sidelining Palestinians.

According to the plan, Gaza would be under international governance with an International Stabilisation Force, while Israeli troops maintain a security perimeter. This has been described as a “colonial-style administration” because Palestinians have limited control over top decisions.

The plan does not clearly specify which countries will contribute troops, lacks a timeline for its goals, and does not detail how Palestinian Authority reforms will be implemented. As a result, there is a high chance of continued resistance and violence despite the plan.

The plan received support from Israel and some key Arab nations, which is unusual because Palestinian representatives were completely excluded from the process. This selective support indicates that the plan favors Israeli objectives.

Hamas is asked to either accept the plan or continue facing Israeli attacks. This is a conditional demand, putting pressure on Hamas but not necessarily addressing the broader issues of governance and Palestinian rights.

While the plan calls for an International Stabilisation Force (ISF), it does not clarify which countries will contribute troops or how their deployment will be coordinated. This uncertainty is a significant limitation of the plan.

The plan provides some temporary relief (ceasefire and protection for civilians), but its primary focus is advancing Israeli objectives. Excluding Palestinian decision-making and lacking a clear roadmap means it is unlikely to resolve the conflict or achieve lasting peace.
