Donald Trump discusses Gaza peace plan with Benjamin Netanyahu

On November 6, 2026, former U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the implementation of a 20-point peace plan for the Gaza Strip. The proposal, which aims to bring a definitive end to the conflict, includes the disarmament of Hamas, the demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, and the transition of local administration to a new technocratic Palestinian government.

According to reports citing sources from Axios, the initiative led to the creation of a Peace Council and facilitated the release of hostages during previous negotiations. While the Trump administration had previously refrained from pushing the plan during the Israeli election cycle to avoid political friction, current reports indicate that Trump is now prioritizing its implementation regardless of the future composition of the Israeli government.

The discussion highlights the continued diplomatic engagement between the two figures, even as regional political landscapes remain in flux. The strategic push follows earlier agreements between Israel and Hamas regarding the 20-point framework, aiming to formalize the post-war governance structure in the territory.
