PM Modi spoke with Trump and Netanyahu about the 'Gaza Peace Plan', Also provided an update on the trade deal

New Delhi, In a significant diplomatic move, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone on Thursday. PM Modi congratulated Trump on the success of the 'historic Gaza Peace Plan' that restored peace in Gaza. Calling Trump his "friend," he emphasized the importance of this success. This plan is the first step toward stopping the fighting between Israel and Hamas and releasing hostages, which could prove to be a turning point in the two-year-long war.

PM shares what he spoke with Trump on 'X'

PM Modi wrote on X (formerly Twitter), "Spoke with my friend President Trump and congratulated him on the success of the historic Gaza Peace Plan. Also reviewed the good progress made in trade negotiations. Agreed to remain in close contact in the coming weeks." This conversation took place immediately after the first phase of the Gaza peace process was agreed upon, in which Israel and Hamas agreed to a halt to hostilities, the release of some hostages and prisoners, and increased humanitarian aid.

PM Modi also called Netanyahu

PM Modi also shared his phone conversation with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. He wrote on X, "I called my friend, Prime Minister Netanyahu, to congratulate him on the progress made under President Trump's Gaza Peace Plan. We welcome the agreement on the release of hostages and increased humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza. I reiterated that terrorism in any form is unacceptable anywhere in the world."

Thousands of lives have been lost in Gaza

The more than two-year war in Gaza has claimed thousands of lives. Trump's 20-point plan includes the complete release of hostages, a transfer of power from Hamas, the deployment of an international stabilization force, and the reconstruction of Gaza. Hamas has agreed to the release of hostages and a Palestinian transitional government, while Israel has promised to halt bombing. Trump thanked Arab and Islamic countries for their mediation. India has also consistently supported peace in Gaza. PM Modi has previously praised Trump's efforts.

What are the highlights of the Gaza Peace Plan?

Trump's Gaza Peace Plan is a 20-point plan designed to bring peace to the region. Its first phase was recently agreed upon by Israel and Hamas. This peace plan includes the release of all hostages, a partial withdrawal of Israeli forces, immediate humanitarian aid (at least 400 trucks daily), making Gaza a terror-free zone, and granting amnesty to Hamas for surrendering their weapons and renouncing their rule. Initially, the Palestinian Technical Committee (under the supervision of Trump's Peace Board) will administer Gaza temporarily, but later it will be handed over to the Palestinian Authority. There is also a specific plan for Gaza's economic reconstruction.
