US President Donald Trump unveiled a “historic” plan regarding Gaza, supported by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, but uncertainty remains about its implementation.

The plan includes conditions difficult for Hamas to accept, and it was criticized by far-right Israeli minister Bezalel Smotrich. Netanyahu also appears to have reservations about certain provisions.

Hamas

Following the announcement of the 20-point plan, Hamas made no public comment, but a Palestinian official confirmed that the movement began studying it on Tuesday, noting it may take several days.

The official emphasized Hamas’s keenness on a comprehensive agreement to stop the war and aggression, ensuring a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, ending the blockade imposed since 2007, and rebuilding the Strip.

Trump warned Hamas on Tuesday that it has “three or four days” to respond to the plan, threatening a grim fate if rejected. The plan calls for Gaza to be disarmed, a demand Hamas has long rejected.

Netanyahu

Despite supporting the peace plan, Netanyahu seems to oppose one of its main points: a full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. In a video statement Tuesday, he said the army “will remain in most of Gaza.” Political science professor Gayelet Netelshir says Netanyahu “speaks with two voices”—one to the world and one to his right-wing base.

Netanyahu left the door open for military operations if Hamas rejects the plan, stating that if Hamas refuses or only superficially accepts it while opposing it, Israel will complete the mission itself.

Far-right Israeli Wing

Netanyahu’s government, one of the most right-wing in Israel’s history, relies on support from far-right ministers who categorically reject ending the war unless Hamas is defeated.

Far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich criticized the plan on Tuesday, calling it a “resounding diplomatic failure.”

The right hopes Hamas will say no and that the war in Gaza will continue. If Hamas says yes, Netanyahu would lose his government.

Right-wing ministers strongly oppose the future establishment of a Palestinian state, which the US plan left room for.

From the right-wing perspective, Netanyahu’s Monday actions amount to endorsing a two-state solution, putting him in a difficult position with the right.

Yossi Dagan, head of the Northern West Bank Settlements Council, considers the establishment of a Palestinian state a “red line.” He advocates applying Israeli sovereignty over settlements and lands.

Netanyahu reiterated his opposition to a Palestinian state on Tuesday, stating it was not part of Trump’s peace plan.
