"No real timeline": The flaw in Trump's Gaza peace deal

While it looks to be a solid plan at first glance, there’s at least one major flaw in Donald Trump’s proposed peace plan for Gaza. 

If agreed to by Hamas, the war would end immediately, with Israeli troops withdrawing and Hamas releasing all hostages. 

No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and Israel won't occupy or annex the territory. 

The US President would lead a new transitional government, made up of Palestinians and experts like former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. 

But International Geopolitical Analyst Geoffrey Miller told Kerre Woodham that along with the fact that only Israel has been involved in the negotiation of this deal, there is no timeline outlined. 

He says the deal mentions providing a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, but there’s no timeline as to how it would be achieved, so it makes you wonder if it’s been added in to make it sound good.
