ISLAMABAD:
The 20 points that US President Donald Trump announced as part of his Gaza plan this week were not in line with the draft proposed by a group of Muslim-majority countries, Pakistani foreign minister Ishaq Dar said on Friday.

Changes were made in the plan, Dar told Pakistani lawmakers in parliament.

“I have made it clear that these 20 points which Trump has made public are not ours. These are not the same as ours. I say that some changes have been made in it, in the draft we had,” he said.

Trump published on Monday the plan that would end the war between Israel and Hamas rebels and require the return of all hostages living and dead within 72 hours of a ceasefire.

The plan leaves many details for negotiators to hash out and hinges on acceptance by Hamas rebels who launched the war against Israel on Oct 7, 2023. It refers to a redeveloped Gaza as “New Gaza”.
