Australian Deputy Prime Minister Welcomes Trump’s Gaza Peace Plan

On September 29, 2025, Australian Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles welcomed U.S. President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan, which aims to end the conflict between Israel and Hamas and supports a two-state solution.

Marles emphasized that the plan demonstrates international attention to the ongoing conflict in Gaza and hopes it can facilitate the peace process. He noted that although the plan has not yet received support from all parties involved, it provides a new perspective on resolving the region’s issues. Marles also stressed that the Australian government will continue to cooperate with international partners, support Israel’s right to self-defense, and call on all parties to comply with international humanitarian law to protect civilians.

Trump’s plan includes suggestions such as establishing a transitional government under international supervision, responsible for governance during the transition period. However, the plan’s specific details require further discussion and negotiation.

Currently, the plan has not received formal responses from the Israeli government or Hamas. International reactions are mixed, with some seeing it as an opportunity for conflict resolution and others questioning its feasibility. The Australian government stated it will closely monitor developments and adjust its foreign policy as necessary to promote peace and stability in the region.
