The French-Saudi two-state plan, launched in late September, initially seemed to carry zero practical significance. But despite Netanyahu's insults, it affected Trump's cease-fire plan in key points – including dashing any hopes for a Gaza Riviera
Bitter experience teaches that this is the most dangerous stage of Gaza cease-fire talks: Netanyahu will try to prolong the process, accuse Hamas of not agreeing to every detail and turn back the clock. Trump must force both sides to do what they did not choose to do themselves: end the war
According to a map posted by Trump, the IDF will exit Gaza City and the refugee camps in the central Strip. As part of the withdrawal, a buffer zone will be created, to which Gaza's residents will not be able to enter. IDF forces will remain in the Philadelphi Corridor, Rafah and Beit Hanoun

'Hamas agreed to the outline of the deal: Our nightmare is on its way to ending': Although the prime minister said that Israel was preparing to implement Trump's Gaza cease-fire proposal, demonstrators fear that far-right ministers will force the government to renege
Netanyahu announced earlier Saturday that 'Israel is preparing for the immediate implementation of the first phase of the Trump plan for the release of all hostages' after the U.S president said that Hamas was 'ready for a lasting PEACE'
