ELNET UK presents the latest in our Explainer series: What are the peace plan options

Hamas’ rejection of proposals to extend the ceasefire in Gaza and the return to the tragic conflict sparked by its assault on southern Israel on October 7 2023 has obscured continuing international efforts to consider how a sustainable, peaceful “day after” for Israelis and Palestinians alike might be secured. This paper assesses Donald Trump’s proposals for a “Middle East riviera” in Gaza, the consequent plan developed by Egypt and endorsed by the Arab League, and how these might be tied to a renewed process of regional normalisation.
