      <title>How Muslim leaders, West react to Trump’s Gaza peace plan</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330437263/how-muslim-leaders-west-react-to-trumps-gaza-peace-plan</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;US President Donald Trump has announced a 20-point peace proposal aimed at ending the war in Gaza, following talks with radical Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The proposal, which includes the disarmament of Hamas and a pathway to a two-state solution, has drawn widespread international attention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Palestinian Authority (PA) welcomed Trump’s initiative, praising the proposal as a sincere effort toward ending hostilities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PA called for mechanisms to ensure a ceasefire, humanitarian aid, the release of Israeli hostages, and an end to the Israeli occupation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In contrast, Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) rejected the proposal, calling it a “recipe to blow up the region”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Several Arab and Muslim-majority nations, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, expressed support for the plan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;center&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va8czsoLNSZzP877bA0I"&gt;

&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/center&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The foreign ministers of the Muslim-majority countries released a joint statement welcoming Trump’s “sincere efforts to end the war in Gaza, and asserted their confidence in his ability to find a path to peace”.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif praised Trump’s leadership, with Sharif highlighting the role of US envoy Steve Witkoff.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Moscow welcomes any efforts by Trump aimed at  “ending this ongoing tragedy.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun said Beijing “supports all efforts” for a de-escalation in Gaza.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;European leaders also reacted positively. France’s President Emmanuel Macron and German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul urged Hamas to accept the terms.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on all parties to engage constructively, while former PM Tony Blair praised the plan’s boldness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The plan also gained support from countries like India, China, Russia, Australia, and New Zealand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;EU leaders, including Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, welcomed the initiative as a step toward lasting peace and emphasised the urgency of humanitarian relief and hostage release.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;However, Israel’s far-right Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich harshly criticised the plan, calling it a “diplomatic failure” and questioning its timing and impact.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Hamas said it is reviewing the plan in good faith, the coming days will determine whether Trump’s initiative gains traction toward a negotiated ceasefire and long-term peace in Gaza.&lt;/p&gt;
