NEW DELHI (Diya TV) — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has voiced support for President Donald Trump’s “Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict,” calling it a promising step toward peace. Modi said the initiative offers a pathway to stability for both Palestinians and Israelis as well as for the wider Middle East.
In a statement on Monday, Modi welcomed the American proposal. “We welcome President Donald J. Trump’s announcement of a comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict. It provides a viable pathway to long-term and sustainable peace, security, and development for the Palestinian and Israeli people, as well as for the larger West Asian region,” he said. Modi added that the plan will need collective backing from all parties if it is to succeed.
Trump formally introduced the 20-point proposal in Washington after meeting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. He described the plan as a chance to bring a permanent halt to the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza, which erupted after the October 7, 2023, attacks.
Modi emphasized India has always supported peace in the region and urged all sides to unite behind the initiative and work toward conflict resolution. India has long maintained that dialogue and compromise are the only ways to secure lasting peace in West Asia.
Trump, standing alongside Netanyahu, said the proposal could quickly end the fighting. “Now it’s time for Hamas to accept the terms of the plan that we’ve put forward today. I’m hearing Hamas wants to get this done,” Trump said. He also warned that if Hamas refuses, Israel would have his full backing to eliminate the group.
The plan envisions Gaza as a demilitarized, terror-free territory no longer threatening neighboring countries. It also calls for redevelopment and international assistance. One of the most urgent elements is the release of all hostages within 72 hours of the agreement. In return, Israel would free 250 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans detained after the 2023 attacks, including all women and children. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are returned, Israel would hand over the remains of 15 Palestinians.
Trump’s proposal further outlines a temporary technocratic government in Gaza. Israel would pledge not to annex the territory or force residents out. If accepted, the deal would immediately end the war, with both living captives and bodies returned within three days.
A new transitional body, called the “Board of Peace,” would oversee Gaza until the Palestinian Authority reforms enough to resume control. Trump would chair the board, which would also include figures such as former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The group would coordinate funding and redevelopment projects for Gaza.
Hamas members willing to embrace peace would be offered amnesty, while others could seek safe passage abroad. Regional and international security forces would help keep order and train local police. Aid flows would be regulated under the agreement. The U.S. would continue hosting talks to encourage long-term coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians.
Modi’s endorsement of the plan highlights India’s consistent role as a supporter of dialogue over conflict. For decades, New Delhi has balanced ties with Israel and support for Palestinian aspirations. By backing Trump’s framework, Modi signaled that India wants to see immediate steps toward de-escalation and reconstruction.
The outcome, however, depends on Hamas. Acceptance would mean the war could end within days, while rejection could trigger harsher Israeli action with U.S. support. As uncertainty lingers, world leaders are watching to see if Trump’s plan can transform one of the most entrenched conflicts in modern history.
