A senior official from the Palestine Liberation Organization said Tuesday the group welcomes any plan that could end Israel’s war in Gaza, following U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposal to halt the nearly two-year conflict.
“After almost two years of killing and destruction, this war must come to an end,” the official told Hespress AR. “This is not only a Palestinian demand, but also an Arab and Islamic one, given the massive human losses and widespread devastation across the Gaza Strip.”
The official noted concerns about certain aspects of the plan, particularly the reported involvement of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. “He has proven his bias and absolute loyalty to Israel when he played a role in U.N. mediation,” the source said.
Still, the PLO highlighted several positive elements, including the possibility of a permanent resolution, an independent Palestinian state under the two-state solution, and the end of what it called the ambitions of far-right Israeli leaders to annex the West Bank.
The official also stressed Morocco’s role, alongside Arab and Islamic states, in supporting political efforts to implement the plan. “The Kingdom’s humanitarian and relief initiatives, under King Mohammed VI’s guidance, are crucial in confronting Israel’s starvation tactics in Gaza,” the source added.
Trump unveiled the proposal Monday at the White House in a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The plan calls for an international peacekeeping force in Gaza, a phased Israeli withdrawal to a buffer zone, and the disarmament of Hamas.
Key measures include the release of all Israeli hostages within 72 hours of Israel’s acceptance of the plan, the release of 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences, and turning Gaza into a demilitarized zone. Hamas members who surrender their weapons would be granted amnesty.
Under the proposal, Gaza would be administered by a Palestinian technocratic committee overseen by an international “Peace Council” chaired by Trump. The United States, in cooperation with Arab and international partners, would form a force to secure Gaza, train Palestinian police, and facilitate the entry of full humanitarian aid.
