TIMELINE
DONALD TRUMP'S GAZA PLANS
In this timeline we show you how Netanyahu, Donald Trump, the Israelis and the Trump administration are trying to divert attention away from the suspicion, that the "peace plan" is a covert scheme, as all those who are involved in the premediation, planning and the organization of the execution of the plan, are Jewish, pro-Israeli and or have ties with high profile Israelis.
Please, take not that sources are American, Arabic, British, European, and Israeli, and that they all report from their perspectives based on editorial policies. Reports may contain disinformation.
| 20250204 | Trump during Netannyahu's visit:
"We'll own it. We're going to take over that piece, develop it and create thousands and thousands of jobs, and it will be something the entire Middle East can be proud of," he said, adding that a “long-term ownership position” by the U.S. would bring “great stability to the Middle East.” |
|
| 20250205 | Vital U.S. allies such as Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt and Jordan have rejected the idea of removing Palestinians from their lands.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry in a statement “The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia reiterates its firm rejection of any infringement on the legitimate rights of the Palestinian people". This includes opposition to Israeli settlement policies, the annexation of Palestinian lands, and efforts to displace the Palestinian people from their homeland.” |
|
| 20250212 | Trump doubles down on his vows to empty Gaza permanently of its more than 2 million Palestinians, saying they would not be allowed to return and suggesting at one point he might force Egypt and Jordan to take them in by threatening to cut off U.S. aid. | |
| 20250225 | US President Donald Trump has said the two million Palestinians who would be resettled in neighbouring countries under his plan to take over and rebuild the Gaza Strip would have no right of return. "No, they wouldn't, because they're going to have much better housing," he told Fox News. "I'm talking about building a permanent place for them." | |
| 20250226 | Trump posted a clip, which appears to have been published beforehand by accounts unaffiliated with the White House, on the site Truth Social on Wednesday. It features Trump and the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, sunbathing in a Dubai-style resort while Elon Musk is showered with bank notes while walking on a beach. The clip echoes Trump's recent comment on Gaza when he said: 'We have an opportunity to do something that could be phenomenal … the Riviera of the Middle East, it could be so magnificent' | |
| 20250304 | At an Emergency Arab summit on Gaza reconstruction, Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi highlighted Gaza’s suffering and urged lasting peace. | |
| 20250305 | The US and Israel have rejected an Arab plan for the post-war reconstruction of the Gaza Strip that would allow the 2.1 million Palestinians living there to stay in place. | |
| 20250313 | Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem has welcomed United States President Donald Trump’s apparent retreat from his proposed permanent displacement of more than two million Palestinians from Gaza. The statement by the Hamas official came after Trump said on Wednesday that “nobody is expelling any Palestinians from Gaza” in response to a question during a meeting in the White House with Ireland’s Taoiseach Micheal Martin. | |
| 20250313 | US President Donald Trump has said Palestinians in Gaza are not going to be expelled, backtracking on comments in February when he announced a plan for the US to take over the territory and move people to neighbouring countries. | |
| 20250314 | The United States and Israel have discussed with three East African governments the forced displacement of Palestinians from Gaza to Sudan, Somalia and its breakaway region of Somaliland. Officials from Sudan rejected overtures from the US while officials from Somalia and Somaliland said they are unaware of any contacts. [source] | |
| 20250314 | The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for resettling Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trump’s proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials say. The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the U.S. and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues.

| 20250828 | Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair has joined a White House meeting with US President Donald Trump to discuss plans for post-war Gaza. Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff has said the US is putting together a "very comprehensive" plan on "the next day" after the war. However, little else has been disclosed about the meeting. Blair served as Middle East envoy for a few years after leaving office in 2007 - focusing on bringing economic development to Palestinian areas and creating conditions for a two-state solution.

| 20250902 | Gaza postwar plan envisions ‘voluntary’ relocation of entire population. The Trump administration and international partners are discussing proposals to build a “Riviera of the Middle East” on the rubble of Gaza. One would establish U.S. control and pay Palestinians to leave. [pay walled] | |
| 20250902 | A 38-page plan circulating in the Trump administration outlines a U.S.-run trusteeship for postwar Gaza, proposing to transform the devastated enclave into a hub of luxury resorts and technology industries — while uprooting millions of Palestinians in the process. The proposal, obtained by The Washington Post, is being condemned as a continuation of Israel’s decades-long project of dispossession. The plan, known as the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation (GREAT) Trust, envisions relocating Gaza’s entire population of more than two million. It suggests “voluntary” departures abroad or confinement to “secure zones” inside Gaza during a ten-year rebuilding phase. Those who agree to leave would receive a $5,000 cash payment, four years’ rent, and food for a year, along with digital land “tokens” redeemable for apartments in new “AI-powered smart cities.” The trust, developed with input from Israeli businessmen and U.S. consultants, predicts investors could quadruple a $100 billion stake within a decade.

| 20250902 | Trump’s Gaza plan involves ‘voluntary’ relocation of Palestinians – and giving them $5,000 each: report: A plan for the post-war redevelopment of Gaza being considered by Donald Trump’s administration would see the region’s Palestinian population paid $5,000 to leave “voluntarily,” according to a report. The Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust, otherwise known as the Great Trust, proposes that the 2 million people currently living in Gaza could be paid to be relocated to other countries or secure zones as part of a deal that would also see them receive subsidies to cover four years of rent and a year’s worth of food, [source] | |
| 20250902 | Peace rejected: Israel, US turn down Arab deal, guarantee more bloodshed: By ignoring a dramatic Arab offer, Jerusalem and Washington sentenced Israelis and Gazans to continued bloodshed, while depriving Israel of a historic regional opportunity. Twice over the past months, a powerful Arab coalition, mostly hostile to Hamas (which is outlawed by some), presented plans for a Hamas-free Gaza Strip. First, in March, the Arab League embraced an Egyptian plan for Gaza rehabilitation and reconstruction, refuting US President Donald Trump’s claim that doing so requires massive deportation of the strip’s over two million residents. [Israeli source] | |
| 20250904 | Back in February, Donald Trump teased a glossy AI vision of a “Gaza Riviera.” Critics called it a cover for mass displacement. Now, the Washington Post has published a full 38-slide proposal, and the details are staggering. The plan - known as The GREAT Trust - lays out a decade of US control over Gaza, with aid camps described by the UN as “death traps,” promises of foreign investment tied to $1.3 trillion in rare-earth minerals, AI-powered surveillance “smart cities,” and cash incentives for Palestinians to leave their homes. Drafted by Israeli-American businessmen, refined by Boston Consulting Group, and linked to figures like Jared Kushner and Tony Blair, the blueprint envisions Gaza without Palestinians at its core. This is more than a pitch deck - it’s a roadmap accused of ethnic cleansing, raising urgent questions about who gets to decide Gaza’s future. .[source] | |
| 20250904 | Trump has downplayed suggestions he wants to win the Nobel Peace Prize after weeks of speculation. "I have nothing to say about it," Trump told CBS News, the BBC's US partner. "All I can do is put out wars." The president added: "I don't seek attention. I just want to save lives." The comments appear to be at odds with previous statements on the matter, when he has said he should be given the prestigious accolade for his part in ending several conflicts. In the same telephone interview, Trump told the outlet that he was committed to helping to secure a peace agreement between Russia and Ukraine. He said: "Something is going to happen. We are going to get it done." [source] | |
| 20250905 | A potential UN-endorsed reconstruction plan for Gaza, including a one-year technocratic government, an international stabilisation force, disarmament of Hamas and a rejection of mass deportation of Palestinians, is being discussed with the US to prevent the UN general assembly descending into a bitter row about the symbolic recognition of Palestine as a state. [source] | |
| 20250907 | Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, along with former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, briefed the White House late last month on a plan for postwar Gaza, NBC News, citing two White House officials, reported last week. The proposal, to put it plainly, is an unserious, politically ignorant, economic-centric pipe dream, a la Trump’s vision of a “Gaza Riviera.” And it further highlights Kushner’s decidedly overrated reputation as a successful diplomat in Middle East relations. [source] | |
| 20250918 | Trump has given Tony Blair, the former British prime minister, who has ties with high profile Israelis, two weeks to garner support for his proposal. The "project" by the Tony Blair Institute (TBI) proposes establishing a temporary body to rule Gaza, with no displacement of civilians, and a multinational effort to prevent the resurgence of Hamas. Blair has been working on a post-war plan – known as the “day after” – since the conflict broke out in October 2023. Trump has suggested turning Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East” – a glitzy paradise complete with casinos and beachfront properties. He has also spoken about moving thousands of Palestinians from the war-torn territory, but sources confirmed to The Telegraph that Sir Tony’s plan does not involve the displacement of Gazans.[source] | |
| 20250924 | On the night of September 23-24, Donald Trump, along with White House special envoy Steve Witkoff, presented the first official American plan to end the Gaza war to the leaders of Arab and Muslim countries. According to sources who attended the meeting, Trump emphasized the urgency of ceasing military operations, stating, "Every day the war continues, Israel becomes more and more isolated in the world.".[source] | |

| 20250925 | The Trump administration has proposed a 21-point peace plan to end the war in Gaza to Arab leaders, which led to an exchange of ideas among the leaders over how to agree on a final proposal that could potentially drive an end the conflict, according to a senior administration official and regional sources familiar with the matter. US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff expressed confidence that there would be “some sort of breakthrough” in the coming day but did not go into details..[source] | |
| 20250925 | “Better truth than illusions,” Polish prime minister Donald Tusk warned – urging scepticism over Donald Trump’s motives in claiming that Ukraine could recapture all its lost territories. The same might be said about Trump’s new approach to Palestine, but suddenly the optimists are back, with a two-state solution emerging from the rubble of two years of war in Gaza - a British analysis reads. | |

| 20250927 | Trump administration has proposed a 21-point Gaza peace plan that calls for all hostages held by Hamas to be released within 48 hours of an agreement and sets out a roadmap for Gaza once the war ends. Trump voiced optimism about resolving the conflict, saying Friday they’re “very close” to a deal, just days after his envoy said a “breakthrough” was possible. Netanyahu, however, vowed to continue the war until Hamas is destroyed. The plan could be problematic for Netanyahu, given it recognizes aspirations for a Palestinian state - something firmly opposed by key members of his government. The plan would deny Hamas any future role in the governance of Gaza, the source said. Instead, it calls for two levels of interim governance in the territory – an overarching international body and a Palestinian committee. | |

Netanyahu will meet the US president at the White House for the fourth time since Trump returned to power in January — more than any other world leader — yet Israeli officials are preparing for a potentially fraught exchange over the Gaza war. In a post on his Truth Social media platform on Sunday, Trump posted: “We have a real chance for GREATNESS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. ALL ARE ON BOARD FOR SOMETHING SPECIAL, FIRST TIME EVER. WE WILL GET IT DONE!!!” |

| 20250928 | Trump told in an interview Sunday that negotiations over his plan to end the war in Gaza are "at their final stages" and contended a deal could open the way for wider peace in the Middle East. [source] | |
| 20250928 | Netanyahu meets with Witkoff, Kushner. The Israeli media are reporting the speculation, that the Trump administration is planning to announce that it has finalized its agreement for ending the war in Gaza and releasing the remaining Israeli captives held there. Steve Witkoff held a roughly two-hour meeting with Netanyahu at his hotel on Sunday, where the top Trump aide worked to get Netanyahu on board despite the prime minister’s pushback regarding the proposal’s terms for Hamas’s disarmament and the role of the Palestinian Authority in postwar Gaza. Jared Kushner, the president’s son-in-law and former senior adviser, also participated in the meetings. [Israeli source} | |
| 20250929 | Trump to push proposal for elusive Gaza peace in Netanyahu talks:

| 20250929 | The Palestinian Authority joins regional leaders in welcoming US president’s 20-point peace plan to end war in Gaza. [source] | |
| 20250929 | The White House has unveiled a 20-point proposal it says could bring an immediate halt to Israel’s war on Gaza, which has killed more than 66,000 Palestinians and left the Palestinian enclave in ruins. [source] | |
| 20250929 | Netanyahu has said he supports US President Trump’s 20-point plan to end the war on Gaza. He emphasised his distrust of the Palestinian Authority, which under the plan would have no role in managing the strip until after a period of reform. [source] | |
| 20250929 | Five unanswered questions about Trump’s Gaza plan - The United States president’s 20-point ceasefire proposal in Gaza includes many ambiguous provisions that could be decisive for the future of Palestine and the region. When presenting it in the White House on Monday, alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Donald Trump hailed the plan as historic. But figuring out the details for some of its elements will likely be a major challenge to its implementation.[source] | |
| 20250930 | After Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu threw his support behind the U.S. peace plan for Gaza, the question now is whether Hamas will agree. Hamas faces a bitter tradeoff — the proposal demands that the militant group effectively surrender in return for uncertain gains. But if it rejects the deal, the U.S. could give Israel an even freer hand to continue its punishing campaign in the already devastated territory. [source] | |
| 20250930 | Donald Trump has given Hamas an ultimatum of “three or four days” to respond to his proposed peace and reconstruction plan in Gaza, warning the militant group would “pay in hell” if it rejects the deal, as the Israeli offensive continued, inflicting further civilian casualties. [source] | |
| 20250930 | Trump’s latest plan to end the war in Gaza contains the same tripwires as previous ones. The key sticking point in past ceasefire proposals has been the so-called day after in Gaza — the question of what will happen to the war-obliterated Palestinian enclave after Hamas releases the remaining Israeli hostages it has been holding for almost two years.[source] | |

| 20250930 | Mustafa Barghouti, Palestinian politician and co-founder of the Palestinian National Initiative, called Trump’s Gaza plan a “great disappointment” that is riddled with “mines.” He slammed Trump for being openly biased toward Israel, ignoring Palestinians’ right to self-determination, and failing to address the core issue: Israeli occupation. The “mines”/ dangers: [source] | |
| 20250930 | “Ending the genocide is tied to this very colonial approach in which Israel – the party that has carried out the genocide – and the US – who has funded it – are the ones who get to decide the future of the people against whom they’re committing genocide,” Palestinian lawyer and analyst Diana Buttu, who was a legal adviser to the Palestinian negotiating team from 2000 to 2005, said “If you read the agreement itself, there are no guarantees provided to the Palestinians, not a single guarantee,” she added. “All guarantees are provided to the Israelis.” [source] |

Israel's defence minister has said its forces are "tightening the siege" around Gaza City by extending a military corridor across the territory towards the coast. Israel Katz also issued a final warning to the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the city to evacuate southwards, saying those who remained during the offensive against Hamas would be "terrorists and supporters of terror". [source] Comment: The Netzarim Corridor, Katz is referring to, already runs from the land border in the east to the beach in the west. |

| 20251001 | While its ties with Washington have fluctuated sharply over the years, the PA is recognized by the UN, European Union, Arab League and most countries around the world as the Palestinian people’s legitimate representative. It has been the primary interlocutor for international efforts to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and agree a two-state solution. However, Ghassan Khatib, a professor of international studies and political science at Birzeit University in the West Bank and a former PA minister, said the Trump plan left only “a theoretical possibility” for a future PA role in Gaza, with “many minefields and conditions.” [source} | |
| 20251001 | Netanyahu defended US President Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan to skeptics in his hardline cabinet Tuesday evening, telling ministers that coordination with Washington “is closer than you think,” according to two Israeli officials who participated in the meeting and another official briefed on its contents. [source] | |
| 20251002 | A leaked document has revealed details on how the authority charged with governing and rebuilding the Gaza Strip could operate, and how it could be structured. The proposal suggests a few billionaires who could sit on the board and flags it would include an investment body tasked with generating "real financial returns". Critics say the plan sidelines Palestinians while giving power to foreigners who are "motivated by capital interests". [source] | |
| 20251002 | Mediators have made contact with the head of Hamas's military wing in Gaza, who has indicated he does not agree to the new US ceasefire plan. Izz al-Din al-Haddad is thought to believe the plan was designed to finish Hamas, whether the group accepts it or not, and so is determined to fight on. [source] | |

Donald Trump will set a red line on how long to give Hamas to accept his 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza, the White House said Thursday, as both Israel and Hamas weigh the proposal amid intense regional diplomacy. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told Fox News that Trump is prepared to draw a line on Hamas’ response time. “This is an acceptable plan, and we hope and expect Hamas should accept this plan so we can move forward,” she said. The administration, she added, is engaged in “sensitive conversations” and leaving further statements to the president and his envoy, Steve Witkoff. [source] Comment: Setting a red line is no other than threatening, which is not an act to peace. |

| 20251003 | Hamas will reply “positively” to US President Donald Trump’s proposal for ending the war in Gaza, while submitting a series of amendments, a source familiar with the negotiations, adding that the response could come within hours. [source] | |
| 20251004 | Hamas accepted Trump's terms for the release of Israeli hostages and the idea of handing over the governance of Gaza to Palestinian technocrats - but did not give a clear response to many other elements of his 20-point proposal. Soon after it was published, Trump wrote on social media that he believed Hamas was ready for peace and called on Israel to stop the bombing of Gaza. [source] | |
| 20251004 | “I believe they are ready for a lasting peace.” the US president wrote on social media after Hamas announced it was willing to release the hostages and hand over power to other Palestinians. US President Donald Trump, on Friday, in a social media post, said Israel must stop bombing the Gaza Strip after Hamas said it had accepted some elements of his peace plan to end the nearly two-year war.

"I appreciate that Israel has temporarily stopped the bombing in order to give the Hostage release and Peace Deal a chance to be completed. Hamas must move quickly, or else all bets will be off. I will not tolerate delay, which many think will happen, or any outcome where Gaza poses a threat again. Let’s get this done, FAST. Everyone will be treated fairly!"
