Trump Ceasefire Plan

Blindspot

Hamas pledged to transfer its weapons to a new Palestinian authority that would be overseen by an International Stabilization Force headed by U.S. Major General Jasper Jeffers, according to the Left-leaning sources.

History

Historical Context

On 13 September 1993 the Oslo I Accord—signed by U.S. President Bill Clinton, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat—created a Palestinian Authority and pledged $1.5 billion aid with a five-year interim timetable. The 27 August 2026 Trump-backed Gaza cease-fire plan mirrors Oslo’s framework, seeking UN Security Council endorsement, Hamas disarmament and a U.S. stabilization force, raising similar risks of incomplete enforcement.
