Supporters say the proposal sketches a pathway, however limited, towards recognising Palestinian aspirations for self-determination.</p> <p data-end="1089" data-start="807">The UN Security Council began negotiating the text on 7 November. The draft would enshrine Trump’s “Board of Peace” scheme, a transitional authority meant to oversee post-war reconstruction and economic recovery in Gaza, even as the enclave remains under devastating Israeli siege.</p> <p data-end="1409" data-start="1091">Trump’s 20-point outline includes a conditional reference to Palestinian statehood, noting that if the Palestinian Authority enacted reforms, “the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognise as the aspiration of the Palestinian people”.</p> <p data-end="1845" data-start="1411">That single line enraged Israel’s ultra-nationalist ministers, many of whom opposed the Trump-brokered ceasefire that paused the genocide in October.</p> <p data-end="1845" data-start="1411">The clause triggered a familiar crisis inside Netanyahu’s coalition, where far-right leaders Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich demanded an immediate public rejection of any talk of a Palestinian state. Ben-Gvir even threatened to collapse the government unless Netanyahu complied.</p> <p data-end="2168" data-start="1847">Netanyahu responded on Sunday with a blunt declaration meant to reassure his hardline allies. “Our opposition to a Palestinian state in any territory has not changed. Gaza will be demilitarised and Hamas will be disarmed, the easy way or the hard way. I do not need affirmations, tweets or lectures from anyone,” he said.</p> <p data-end="2430" data-start="2170">A far-right pullout would topple Netanyahu’s fragile governing bloc long before the next scheduled election in October 2026.</p> </div> </div> </article>
