Trump’s Gaza Plan and What It Means for Palestinians

Since its announcement on October 9, President Donald Trump’s ceasefire and stabilization plan for the Gaza Strip has garnered widespread international support for having ended more than two years of horrific war that resulted in deaths of nearly 70,000 Palestinians, including more than 18,000 children, displaced more than 90% of Gaza’s population and wiped out most of its infrastructure. Although Palestinians were not consulted in its development, the plan calls for the creation of an International Stabilization Force to be deployed to the Gaza Strip and an international Board of Peace to manage its internal affairs, including future governance, security and reconstruction, while providing only a limited role for Palestinians themselves. Meanwhile, Trump’s controversial plan, which was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on November 17, is off to a shaky start as Israel continues to bomb Gaza almost daily, killing more than 340 Palestinians since the ceasefire began. Nearly all of Gaza’s two million inhabitants remain concentrated in less than half of its territory under dire conditions and lacking basic services. Is the current ceasefire plan sustainable? How should Palestinians engage with the Trump plan? What are the prospects of a Gaza stabilization plan that expressly excludes Palestinians? The Quincy Institute held a panel discussion on the prospects for Trump’s Gaza plan and what it means for Palestinians. Panelists include Carol Daniel-Kasbari, non-resident fellow at the Quincy Institute, and Mouin Rabbani, co-editor of Jadaliyya.
