New York( The COW News Digital)In a major diplomatic move, U.S. President Donald Trump has presented a 21-point peace plan for the Middle East and Gaza to Muslim leaders. The announcement was made by Steve Witkoff, U.S. Special Envoy for the Middle East, who confirmed that the plan was shared on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly session in New York.
According to Witkoff, the 21-point proposal outlines a roadmap for achieving lasting peace in Gaza and stabilizing the wider Middle East. While he did not disclose full details of the plan, he expressed confidence that a breakthrough announcement could come within days.
“We are in talks with all stakeholders, including Israel, Arab nations, and even Iran,” Witkoff said. “Iran’s position remains tough, but we are ready and willing to negotiate.”
This development comes after a high-level meeting between President Trump and several Muslim leaders in New York, which lasted for nearly 50 minutes. The discussions focused on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, regional security, and steps toward a sustainable ceasefire.
The meeting was attended by Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, along with the leaders of Turkey, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Qatar, and Indonesia. According to reports, the atmosphere was cordial and constructive.
Speaking to the media afterward, President Trump called the meeting “extremely successful,” saying that the dialogue had laid the foundation for potential peace in Gaza. “We had a very good and productive conversation with great leaders,” Trump told reporters.
Observers see this initiative as one of the most ambitious U.S. efforts to address the Gaza crisis in recent years. The plan’s success will largely depend on how it is received by both Israeli authorities and Palestinian groups, as well as Iran’s willingness to engage in talks.
The world now watches closely to see if this plan can lead to a breakthrough in one of the most persistent conflicts in the Middle East.
