The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Though Trump's plan to end the war in Gaza likely favors Netanyahu and Israel, it still includes Israeli concessions and is a worthwhile proposal to end this terrible war. Indeed, this war has gone on for far too long, and it will be up to both sides to ensure that it is implemented. The suffering has gone on long enough.

Pro-Israel narrative

Though this plan forces Israel to make some painful concessions, it is ultimately a decent framework to end the war. However, given Hamas' intransigence, it's hard to believe that the terror group will simply accept it. Hamas has consistently been the main obstacle to ending the war and the primary cause of Gaza's suffering. Only when Hamas surrenders will this war end.

The Jerusalem Post

Pro-Palestine narrative

The fact that Western and Middle Eastern leaders have accepted this sinister plan for Gaza's future is a great betrayal of the Palestinian cause. The plan essentially stipulates that Gaza will become some sort of colonial protectorate and makes no guarantees that the genocide will end. Indeed, the main reason this plan was even proposed was to give Israel cover in the face of overwhelming global outrage over its genocidal policies.
