Details of Trump’s plan to end the war in the Gaza Strip

American and Israeli media revealed the details of President Donald Trump’s plan, consisting of 21 points aimed at ending the war in the Gaza Strip, and creating conditions for the establishment of a future Palestinian state.

The Times of Israel newspaper indicated that the plan was recently participated with a number of Arab and Islamic countries, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly meetings in New York.

Various positions and possible challenges
