US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have reportedly agreed on a plan to resolve the situation in the Middle East, according to Israel Hayom.
Immediately after the US strikes on Iran, a four-way phone call took place between US President Donald Trump, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and Israel's Minister for Strategic Affairs Ron Dermer.
According to Israel Hayom sources, during the call, Trump and Netanyahu agreed on a follow-up action plan consisting of five main points:
Ending the war in Gaza
According to the plan proposed by the US president and the Israeli prime minister, the war in the Gaza Strip is to end within two weeks. A condition for ending the conflict is transferring control of the enclave to a coalition of four Arab countries, including Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
The plan also envisions the deportation of the remaining Hamas leadership to third countries and the release of hostages.
Migration options for Gaza residents
The US and Israeli leaders agreed that several countries would offer to accept civilians from Gaza who voluntarily wish to relocate.
Expanding the Abraham Accords
Under the plan, the Abraham Accords would be expanded to include Syria and Saudi Arabia. Additional Arab and Muslim-majority countries would recognize Israel and establish formal diplomatic relations.
So far, Israel has signed Abraham Accords with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco, enabling the establishment of diplomatic ties.
Israeli-Palestinian conflict resolution
Israel would pledge willingness to engage in a future resolution to the conflict with the Palestinians under the two-state solution framework — on the condition that reforms are implemented within the Palestinian Authority.
US commitments
The United States, in turn, would formally recognize limited Israeli sovereignty over parts of Judea and Samaria (the West Bank).
War between Israel and Hamas
Israel decided to completely destroy Hamas after the group's militants invaded Israeli territory in 2023 and attacked civilians.
Despite attempts at a ceasefire between the warring sides, fighting continues as of today.
Just one month ago, Israel launched a new operation in the Gaza Strip. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that its goal is full control over the Palestinian enclave.
