The government reaffirmed its readiness to collaborate with international partners to revitalise the Middle East peace process and urged all factions to embrace this “historic peace proposal” with sincerity and commitment.

Trump’s 20-point plan sets out an ambitious framework for the demilitarisation, reconstruction, and governance of Gaza under international supervision.

Key highlights include transforming Gaza into a terror-free zone, redeveloping it for the benefit of its people, granting amnesty to Hamas members who disarm, and deploying an International Stabilisation Force to maintain peace and train local security personnel.

The plan also proposes the establishment of a technocratic Palestinian committee to manage Gaza’s day-to-day affairs, overseen by a new “Board of Peace” chaired by President Trump, with participation from former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair and other world leaders. Additionally, a special economic zone and a large-scale development initiative, dubbed the “Trump Economic Development Plan”, aim to attract international investment, create jobs, and rebuild infrastructure.

Other provisions emphasise humanitarian relief, the safe release of hostages, and the phased withdrawal of Israeli forces as stability is restored. The proposal guarantees that Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza and envisions a future where Palestinians achieve genuine self-determination through reformed governance structures.

Ghana’s support for the initiative underscores its long-standing commitment to international diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution.
