President Donald Trump put forward a 20-point plan for peace in Gaza that has been approved by not only the Muslim and Arab world, but the Palestinian Authority, with the only holdout being Hamas.

The plan would free all remaining Israeli hostages, disarm Hamas and remove it from power in Gaza, and even allow a Palestinian State if Hamas and the Palestinian Authority fulfill conditions it sets.

If Hamas does not agree to the plan, it will find itself without much if any support in the region and Israel will continue to fight against it in Gaza.

Trump spent much of his time at the UN General Assembly meeting last week gathering support for the plan.

Lots of support

After he held a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, the foreign ministers of Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Türkiye, Qatar, and Egypt released a joint statement that affirmed Trump's efforts and pledged their support in implementing the plan.

Turkey and the Palestinian Authority, both of which opposed Trump's peace plans previously, also indicated that they were on board with the plan.

So far, Hamas has said it rejected the demand for it to disarm, but has not responded to the plan as a whole.

Trump would like to expand the Abraham Accords to develop Gaza into a hub of trade and commerce similar to Dubai, if investors get involved in the region.

After two-plus years of bombardment from Israel, the area will need a lot of rebuilding.

How did it happen?

According to Axios, the peace plan grew out of a failed attack by Israel on Doha, Qatar in order to assassinate Hamas leaders there.

The attack drew outrage from the Arab world at first, but Trump advisors Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff noticed the unity among the Arab nations and wondered if that could turn into an impetus for ending the war.

At a summit in New York the week before the UN General Assembly meeting, the Arab nations slammed Israel, but their ire cooled when Witkoff presented the peace plan.

The next step was for Israel to get on board. After Netanyahu balked at first, Trump reportedly told him to "take it or leave it," but if he didn't take it, he would lose U.S. support for the war.

The details of the agreement are not yet set in stone, but Israel agreed to it with a few changes and now it's up to Hamas to do the same.
