(CNN) — US President Donald Trump publicly released his roadmap for Gaza peace Monday as he argued that he is “very close” to bringing an end to the nearly two-year long war that has now claimed tens of thousands of lives.

The plan for the release of the hostages and the demilitarization of Hamas was published amid a visit between Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the US president warned that he would give a greenlight to continued Israeli military action unless Hamas agrees to the proposal.

A top Qatari and top Egyptian official shared the 20-point plan with Hamas negotiators on Monday, according to an official briefed. The plan was initially shared with Arab leaders on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York last Tuesday.
