Debate- 21 Point Plan Gaza Peace Plan ft. Desmond Clive and Rebecca Harris.

US 21-point plan aimed at ending the war in Gaza and establishing a path toward a Palestinian state. Crafted largely by US special envoy Steve Witkoff, the proposal was shared with Arab and Muslim nations and outlines steps such as the release of all hostages within 48 hours, immediate cessation of hostilities, and the withdrawal of the IDF. Furthermore, the plan includes a commitment to the demilitarization and de-radicalization of Gaza, while explicitly encouraging Palestinians to remain in the territory. While offering amnesty to Hamas members who commit to peace and envisioning a transitional government of Palestinian technocrats, the plan also faces potential resistance, particularly from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has vehemently opposed Palestinian statehood. The document also introduces the possibility of a credible pathway to statehood once Gaza’s redevelopment and Palestinian Authority reform are complete, which represents a significant shift in US policy.
