Donald Trump urges Benjamin Netanyahu to implement peace plan for Gaza Strip

On November 6, 2026, U.S. President Donald Trump held a phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during which he called for the accelerated implementation of a 20-point peace plan for the Gaza Strip. The plan mandates the disarmament of Hamas, the demilitarization of the territory, and the transition of administration to a new technocratic Palestinian government. While the Trump administration previously delayed pushing this agenda to avoid political controversy during the Israeli election campaign, the President is now moving forward regardless of Israel's internal political composition.

The initiative follows a ceasefire agreement brokered by the U.S. in October 2025, which established a Peace Council to monitor the transition. On November 9, 2026, the Peace Council warned that current measures to address a developing humanitarian crisis in Gaza are inadequate. Following severe rainfall, tens of thousands of tents were destroyed, and at least five people died. Although the Israeli military reported facilitating the entry of 8,200 supply trucks, the Peace Council insists that more urgent action is required to address winter conditions and seasonal flooding in the displaced, tent-covered region.
