Representative of India to the Palestinian Authority in Gaza

• T.S. Tirumurti served as India’s Ambassador to the UN (2020-22) and was the first Indian Representative to the Palestinian Authority (1996-98).

• Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point plan for a Gaza ceasefire shortly before the second anniversary of Hamas’s attack on Israel (October 7, 2023).

• The plan is perceived as either a means to end the war or an instrument of surrender, with Hamas expressing the need to renegotiate parts.

• While the proposal aims for peace in West Asia, Israel and other major parties show skepticism about its viability.

• Key points include:

– A timeline for releasing Israeli hostages within 72 hours.

– Calls for disarmament of Hamas and reforms in the Palestinian Authority.

– A proposal for governance under an International Board of Peace, led by Trump.

• The plan lacks clarity on Israeli obligations and timing for withdrawal, rendering it a statement of intentions rather than a concrete roadmap.

• Responsibility to halt violence and implement the plan shifts to Hamas and the Palestinians, effectively legitimizing continued Israeli military presence.

• The plan does not provide for a Palestinian state or an electoral pathway but suggests a technocratic governance structure under international control.

• Israel’s past experience indicates skepticism about compliance with ceasefire agreements.

• Ambiguity on conditions might undermine the strategy, with potential for ongoing conflict despite the hostages’ exchange.

• The document does not address international law or established resolutions regarding Palestinian statehood and fails to represent the complexities on the ground in the West Bank.

Indian envoy to Gaza is important topic for Civil service exam (WBCS).
