India has officially welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s newly unveiled 20-point proposal to end the Israel-Hamas conflict, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi describing it as a “viable pathway” to lasting peace, security, and development for both Palestinians and Israelis.
The plan aims for a swift ceasefire and mandates the return of all hostages—alive or dead—within 72 hours after the agreement is accepted. Once that is done, Israel would release 250 Palestinian prisoners sentenced to life, along with 1,700 Gazans detained since the conflict’s onset. Hamas would be expected to relinquish roles in governance, disarm, or agree to safe passage.
As part of the proposal, Gaza would be restructured as “New Gaza,” overseen temporarily by technocratic local and international experts under the supervision of a “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump and including global figures like Tony Blair. Humanitarian aid would resume in full scale, delivered through U.N. channels without interference.
