The first phase is a cease fire and prisoner/hostage swap. Not much different than the ones done by Joe Biden and Biden-Trump jointly in January.
Now, if we get to the second phase and successfully complete all 20 points, then we have a successful peace plan, but let's not act like this is a done deal, because it's not.

A peace plan will take much more than ending the hostilities. Even successful completion of all 20 points of the cease fire agreement would not constitute a peace plan.
And this is one of the many reasons why Trump does not qualify for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Meanwhile, a senior Hamas official said Saturday that the groups disarmament, one of the core conditions of Trumps postwar agreement, is out of the question. Speaking anonymously to AFP, he said: The demand that we hand over our weapons is not up for negotiation.
