Pakistan has described the 20-point blueprint presented by US President Donald Trump to end the Gaza war as different from the draft plan given by Muslim countries.

According to Ishaq Dar, Muslim countries had clearly stated in their meeting with Trump on September 22nd that Israeli forces should be completely withdrawn from Gaza. However, Trump’s plan only calls for a partial withdrawal to allow the release of hostages held by Hamas.

Ishaq Dar said this in his statement

According to a Reuters report, Ishaq Dar, speaking in the Pakistani Parliament, said, “I have made it clear that the 20 points made public by Trump do not match our proposal. Several changes have been made to it, which we had provided in the draft.”

 about Trump’s plan

US President Donald Trump on Monday presented a 20-point plan to end the Gaza War. According to this plan, all hostages (dead or alive) must be returned within 72 hours of a ceasefire. The plan also mentions the creation of a new and developed New Gaza in the future. However, many parts of the plan are still subject to negotiations and depend entirely on whether Hamas accepts it.

It is worth noting that Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing over 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. In response, Israel launched a war in Gaza. According to Gaza health officials, over 66,000 Palestinians have been killed in this war so far, and a large part of the Gaza Strip has been completely devastated.

Eight countries have extracted this promise from Trump

Pakistan’s representative, Dar, stated that eight countries had extracted a promise from US President Trump that he would not allow Israel to further expand its occupation of the West Bank. The joint document of Muslim countries clearly stated that Israel should completely withdraw from Gaza and peace should be established based on a two-state solution. Dar stated that Pakistan’s policy is to ensure peaceful coexistence with Israel by making Palestine an independent nation. However, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has repeatedly dismissed the possibility of a Palestinian state.
