Trump's 20-Point Gaza Plan Wins $18 Billion Support One Year After Ceasefire

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Oct 13

A year after the Israel-Hamas ceasefire, Trump's 20-point Gaza plan has broadened international backing, with the Board of Peace saying it is now the only viable framework for reconstruction and governance.
The plan pairs Hamas disarmament with an Israeli withdrawal and transfer of authority to a new Palestinian administration, while an international stabilization force prepares to oversee demilitarization and train police.
$18 billion in reconstruction pledges have been reported, including about $1 billion mobilized by the EU, while a first six-month recovery phase would fund 66 projects at a cost of $2.45 billion.
UN support has strengthened through Resolution 2803, but UNRWA is explicitly excluded from Gaza's future role as U.S. investigators examine more than 1,500 of its employees over alleged terror ties.
Major hurdles remain in fully demilitarizing and deradicalizing Hamas, though backers say regional pressure, mediator support and a technocratic Gaza administration could turn the model into a wider Middle East template.

Overview

Despite a formal ceasefire in Gaza since October 2025, Israeli military strikes have continued, causing significant civilian casualties and forcing over two million Palestinians into overcrowded areas as Israeli forces expand control. A deep political deadlock persists, with Israel demanding Hamas disarm before any withdrawal, while Hamas insists on Israeli retreat first. This standoff has stalled the deployment of international peacekeepers and blocked the entry of Palestinian administrators, leaving Hamas in de facto control of non-occupied zones. Meanwhile, international donors have withheld nearly all pledged reconstruction funds, as aid is conditioned on disarmament, leaving essential recovery efforts paralyzed and Gaza’s humanitarian crisis worsening.
