READERS!
After two years war and Israel’s genocide against the Palestinian people
in Gaza [1A], president Trump lanced his ”20 Point Gaza Peace Plan” [2A] ,
and as we speak [17-11-2025] accepted by the UN Security Council! [2AA]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK
I have something to say about that Trump ”Gaza Peace Plan” and I
will do that LOUD, CLEAR AND FIERCE!
Based on the principe, that every Nation has the right to be free and
the right to fight for that Freedom! [3A]
HOW DO I DO THIS?
I quote from the BBC article ”Trump’s 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan in full” [4A],
that mentions all the 20 points [as the title shows] [5A]
After mentioning a Point, I lance my critical Attack UNDER that point
titled: ASTRID ESSED ATTACK
BELOW THIS INTRODUCTION:
Directly below this Introduction I mention the notes, belonging to this Piece,
from 1AA T/M 6A.
And under my Astrid Essed attack on the 20 points Trump Peace Plan [6A],

ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON TRUMP’S 20 POINTS
GAZA PEACE PLAN
[See the BBC article] [1]
POINT 1 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
1. Gaza will be a deradicalised terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbours. [2]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 1
WRONG as that neigbour is called Israel.
Because Israel is no ”neighbouring country” of Gaza,
but an Occupying.
For YES, according to International Law Israel is
still the Occupying Power in Gaza. [3]
There is no such Thing as ”deradicalization” or ”terror”
The only ”Terror” in Gaza comes from Israeli military
attacks and the Gaza Blockade, which is a warcrime since the basic
needs are being denied to the Gazan people.
Years and years this Blockade goes on, different in intensity [4]
Hamas, seen by mostly Western countries as a” terrorist
movement” is a legitimized resistance movement against
the Israeli occupation [5] and a legally elected government. [6]
Although Hamas also uses methods contrary to International
Law like taking hostages, abductions and military attacks on
civilian goals [7] -and must be held accountable for that-
but Hamas still remains a legitimate resistance movement
against the illegal Israeli occupation. [8]
POINT 2 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough. [9]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 2
Trump is right by stating that ”the people of Gaza
have suffered more than enough” [10]
However, Humpie Trumpie does NOT point out
to the real cause of that suffering:
The Israeli Gaza Blockade and the genocidal Israeli attacks
on Gaza from 2023-2025! [11]
Those heinous deeds [The Gaza Blockade and the genocidal
Israeli attacks on Gaza/addition Astrid Essed] must br named out in the open and Israel must be held accountable according
to International Law Standards.
POINT 3 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal. [12]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 3
NO MR PRESIDENT!
The Israeli army, responsible for warcrimes and crimes
against humanity [13], must withdraw immediately
without any fuss!
Further I agree with Trump, that the hostages should
be released, since holding hostages, especially civilians,
is a warcrime. [14]
POINT 4 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned. [15]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 4
I agree with Trump, that the hostages must be released and return
to Israel, as far as the living are concerned.
But I understand-and agree with-Hamas, that it is not always
possible to find all remains of the deceased hostages [16]
POINT 5 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1,700 Gazans who were detained after 7 October 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans. [17]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 5
Here Trump does have a point.
BUT:
Israel must release ALL remains of deceased Gazans.
Since Israel has not the Hamas excuse, that they couldn’t
find the location of the remains [18]
POINT 6 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries. [19]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 6
NO! NO! NO!
Hamas will surrender [give up] NOT ANY SORT OF WEAPON!
To no country or organization!
Hamas is a legitimate resistance movement [20], that will remain
operating as long as the Israeli occupation continues!
The way I see it, Hamas may lay down it’s arms only
on ONE condition:
When the Israeli army also lays down it’s weapons!
POINT 7 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the 19 January 2025 agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads. [21]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 7
Of course this Point is to scandalous and ridiculous for
words, since aid supplies must have always free access, according
to International Law Standards!
Starvation of the civilian population as a method of warfare, as in Gaza [22], is not only inhuman. It is forbidden! [23]
POINT 8 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under 19 January 2025 agreement. [24]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 8
I agree with this Trump Proposal
POINT 9 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of state to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform programme, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment. [25]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 9
NO! NO! NO!
Hamas is and remains the legitimate government in Gaza,
upholding the principles of International Law!
If Hamas doesn’t govern Gaza anymore, then also
not the present Israeli government, that is, by the way,
responsible for Genocide in Gaza! [26]
POINT 10 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energise Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza. [27]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 10
If Trump will contribute to the rebuilding of Gaza, it’s
fine with me.
HOWEVER:
It’s ISRAEL, that destroyed Gaza, so it is primary
ISRAEL, that is responsible for the rebuilding
of Gaza!
THE DESTROYER PAYS AND MUST BE HELD
ACCOUNTABLE!
AND the countries that are complicit in Israel’s genocide
[for example by supplying weapons to Israel]
POINT 11 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.
[28]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 11
I disagree with you, mr President!
Why?
Because it is a neo-colonial and patronizing idea.
If Trump proposes a ”special economic zone” for Gaza,
then negociations should be opened with Gaza’s
legitimate representatives.
And that, mr President, is Hamas, until the Gazan people
decide otherwise, WITHOUT FOREIGN PRESSURE!
POINT 12 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza. [29]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 12
So no ethnic cleansings.
That seems obvious to me, sibce ethnic cleansings
are crimes against humanity. [30]
Although a kind of funny, that Trump does
this Proposal, since not SOOO long ago it
was Trump himself, pleading ethnic cleansings with
his socalled ”Gaza Riviera Plan……..” [31]
POINT 13 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarisation of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration programme all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbours. [32]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 13
MADNESS!
Not only it is utter nonsense, to negociate but two
parties about peace and doing a proposal to eliminate
one of the parties completely [and expecting, that that
party will agree!], moreover [and it can’t be said enough!],
Hamas is a legitimate resistance movement against the
Israeli occupation, certainly as long as that occupation is not
ended! [33]
And more:
Fine with me, if Trump wants there is demilitarization in Gaza, but then that also applies to the army of the Israeli occupation Power!
POINT 14 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbours or its people. [34]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 14
Assuming that Hamas agrees with the more sensible points
of the Trump 20 points Plan [35]
What governments and institutions will provide the guarantee,
that Israel complies with the agreed agreements?
Like a ceasefire, since Israel even violated the ceasefire it had
closed itself with Hamas! [36]
POINT 15 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilisation Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties. [37]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 15
BAD IDEA AND NEO-COLONIALIST!
Why Neo-colonialist?
Because the Palestinian people is totally sidelined
and ignored!
Ridiculous, out of balance and unfair!
Unfair, because in this Trump Plan [38] one of the warfaring parties, Israel [the Trump Peace
Plan is after all a negociation Plan between Israel and resistance
movement Hamas, political representive of the Palestinian
people! [39], the Occupying Power, would have a say in helping secure border areas.
RIDICULOUS!
POINT 16 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the United States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat. [40]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 16
The only reasonable Point here is ”Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza.” [41]
HOWEVER:
This Statement from Point 16 doesn’t do justice to the
political reality and the reality by International Law.
Because whether Israel is withdrawing from Gaza or
not [and of course they must withdraw from Gaza immediately!],
according to International Law Israel still is the Occupying
Power in Gaza! [42]
POINT 17 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF. [43]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 17
SINK IT IN O READERS
”……the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.” [44]
So if Hamas doesn’t agree with this Trump Gaza ”Peace” Plan [45],
humanitarian aid will be DENIED to the areas, controlled\by Hamas………….
This is DISGUSTING, ABUSE OF POWER AND
A COLLECTIVE PUNISHMENT OF THE CIVILIAN
POPULATION! [46]
And in case Mr President Trump has forgotten:
Starvation as method of warfare is not only inhuman.
It is also a warcrime! [47]
POINT 18 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace. [48]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 18
Beautiful words mr President, but this Conflict has
nothing to do with religion or individual Israeli’s or
Palestinians and you know it!
This Conflict is about occupation and colonization. [49]
And as long as the occupation is not ended and justice is not
done [50], there can’t be a real, true peace.
NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE!
POINT 19 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform programme is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognise as the aspiration of the Palestinian people. [51]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 19
NO Mr President!
No ”conditions for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood” [52].
THE PALESTINIANS HAVE THEIR RIGHT TO SELFDETERMINATION!
HISTORICALLY, MORALLY
AND BY UN RESOLUTIONS!
It is ISRAEL, that is founded in historical Palestine, not
the other way around.
POINT 20 TRUMP GAZA PEACE PLAN
20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence. [53]
ASTRID ESSED ATTACK ON POINT 20
NO!
Certainly NOT the United States!
The USA are and always have been fanatically pro-Israel
and have always supported Israel politically, military and
financially, also in this genocidal Gaza War! [54] and is
far from neutral! [55]
THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN!
END TO THE ISRAELI OCCUPATION OF
THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES!
DISMANTLING OF ALL ISRAELI
SETTLEMENTS IN OCCUPIED PALESTINIAAN
TERRITORIES!
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF THE PALESTIAN RIGHT OF RETURN! [56]
DOWN WITH THAT TRUMP 20 POINTS ”GAZA PEACE PLAN”!
