U.S. UN Ambassador Endorses Trump Gaza Peace Plan

📌 Key Facts

On-camera statements from leaders of three Gaza militias declared support for former President Trump’s Gaza peace plan and rejected Hamas as a terror group.
The militias named in the reporting are the Popular Forces in Rafah, the Popular Northern Forces/People’s Army, and the Popular Defense Forces.
The CPC reported combat operations in Khan Younis that it said expelled Hamas elements from certain areas, which the report framed as evidence of ground-level actors aligning with the U.S.-promoted framework.
The reporting included contextual linkage to Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) claims that Hamas tunnel infrastructure was located near two Gaza hospitals.
All of the above details were reported by Fox News on 2025-10-08 in an article titled "Anti-Hamas Gaza militias reject terror group, declare support for Trump’s peace plan."

A peace plan proposed by U.S. President Donald Trump called for Hamas to free all remaining hostages and for the Israeli military to begin withdrawing from parts of Gaza in phases; the plan also proposed transferring parts of Gaza to a "technocratic" Palestinian committee and deploying a temporary security force backed by Arab states.
A 2025 U.S. peace plan linked a hostage release to a reciprocal exchange involving Palestinian prisoners held by Israel.
U.S. officials in 2025 described a two-phase approach to ceasefire negotiations in which an initial hostage release would be followed by an Israeli military pullback to a previously held boundary position, while decisions about Gaza's future governing structure could be negotiated concurrently.
When the leadership echelon of an armed group is degraded or communications are disrupted, decentralized or multiple armed actors can complicate centralized control and communication, which can make coordinated, full hostage releases difficult and lead to staged or phased releases as logistics permit.

Many X users criticize Trump's Gaza peace plan as heavily biased towards Israel, arguing it imposes impossible conditions on Hamas and ignores Palestinian sovereignty and the right of return for refugees.
Perspectives on X highlight concerns that the plan lacks a clear timeline for Israeli troop withdrawal, allowing the IDF to maintain control indefinitely, which is seen as a bitter pill for Palestinians.
Some X posts express disappointment from Palestinian leaders and activists, viewing the plan as a 'great disappointment' riddled with traps that sideline Palestinian agency and fail to address core issues like statehood.
Users on X discuss the emergence of anti-Hamas militias as a sign of internal divisions in Gaza, but question their legitimacy and whether they truly represent broader Palestinian sentiment amid ongoing conflicts in Khan Younis.
X discussions point out that while the plan offers amnesty and reconstruction, critics argue it effectively demands total surrender from Palestinians, redrawing Gaza's borders and prioritizing Israeli security over Palestinian rights.
