    Israel agreed in principle to a 20-point Gaza peace plan.

    Approximately one year prior to recent developments, Israel agreed in principle to a 20-point peace plan for Gaza. The plan concerns Hamas laying down arms in the region, linked to a reported understanding reached with the Peace Council.

    While US officials have noted that Tel Aviv's position may have changed since that initial agreement, current US efforts involve asking Israel to comply with the terms of the 20-point plan it had previously accepted.
