Smoke was seen rising above the sky in Gaza from southern Israel on Tuesday after U.S. President Donald Trump laid out a 20-point peace proposal for the territory.

Another explosion also took place in Wadi Gaza.

The blasts happened a day after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with Trump to announce the ceasefire plan.

The proposal demands that Hamas effectively surrender and disarm in return for an end to fighting, humanitarian aid for Palestinians and the promise of reconstruction in Gaza — all desperately hoped for by the population in the devastated territory where the death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has topped 66,000 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

The U.S. president, who has become increasingly frustrated by the bloody conflict, seems to be betting that the militants are now so decimated that they have no choice but to accept what he and Netanyahu are framing as a last, best offer.

Qatar’s prime minister and Egypt’s intelligence chief presented Trump’s proposal to Hamas negotiators, who are now reviewing it in “good faith,” according to a person familiar with the matter. The person was not authorized to comment and spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The latest war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023 when Hamas-led militants launched air and ground attacks on Israel, killing nearly 1,200 and taking more than 250 hostages.
