France, UK, Germany, Italy, India and Arab Nations Endorse Trump’s Bold Gaza Peace Blueprint

In a move that has ignited global debate, U.S. President Donald Trump unveiled an ambitious 20-point peace initiative this week, drawing endorsements from capitals as varied as Paris, London, Islamabad, and Berlin. The plan, presented alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, has been heralded by many world leaders as a rare and fragile opportunity to halt the bloody cycle of war in Gaza.

The blueprint, striking in its breadth, calls for an immediate ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from Palestinian territories, the release of all hostages, and the formation of a new Palestinian governing body. While Netanyahu expressed support, questions linger about whether Hamas will accept terms that demand both disarmament and a commitment to long-term political negotiations.

What makes this moment remarkable is not only the gravity of the conflict but also the unusually broad consensus Trump’s plan has generated across regions and ideologies. French President Emmanuel Macron called the proposal a “turning page” and urged Israel to embrace the framework without hesitation. Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni echoed the sentiment, declaring that the plan “may be the pivot toward a durable peace, humanitarian access, and a permanent halt to bloodshed.”

From South Asia, the response has been equally striking. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the plan as a “viable pathway” for development and coexistence, while Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif—often an outspoken critic of U.S. policy—surprised many by offering his endorsement. “Durable peace is essential not only for the Palestinian people but for the stability of the entire region,” he said in a statement, signaling rare agreement between New Delhi and Islamabad.

In London, Prime Minister Keir Starmer urged Hamas to act decisively, stating that the group must “lay down arms, release hostages, and end the suffering.” Meanwhile, a joint communique from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Turkey, and Indonesia lauded what they called Trump’s “sincere efforts” and pledged to engage constructively in ensuring the plan’s success.

Germany, too, has weighed in. Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul called the plan a “unique opportunity” and pressed both Israelis and Palestinians to seize the moment before further devastation erases hope. European Council President Antonio Costa struck a similarly urgent note, warning that such windows of diplomacy rarely stay open for long.

Yet, while global leaders speak of opportunity, the ground reality in Gaza remains grim. The war, triggered by Hamas’s deadly incursion into Israel on October 7, 2023—which killed some 1,200 Israelis and saw at least 250 taken hostage—has left Gaza in ruins. The retaliatory campaign has, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, claimed over 66,000 Palestinian lives, with international pressure mounting on Netanyahu to relent.

The coming weeks will test whether political rhetoric translates into action. Will Hamas bend? Will Israel trust? And will Washington’s gamble hold? For now, the world watches, suspended between the possibility of historic reconciliation and the haunting memory of countless failed accords.

One thing is certain: from the boulevards of Paris to the corridors of Islamabad, the world is—for once—speaking in unison. Whether that chorus becomes the anthem of peace or just another echo in the long history of Middle Eastern conflict is the question history will answer.
