Hillary Clinton backs Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan at 92NY
hillary clinton backed Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza peace plan at 92NY in New York City on June 15, 2026, calling it “the only game in town.” Speaking with The New Yorker’s David Remnick, the former secretary of state said the proposal could offer a path on a war that has not produced another workable option.
“I’m going to say something positive about Trump — so hold on,” Clinton said before adding that Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza is “actually a pathway to security for Israel, reconstruction for Gaza, and the possibility of self-determination — however defined — for the Palestinians.” She said the plan begins with the disarmament of Hamas, which she called “a huge, important step yet to be accomplished.”
92NY and David Remnick
Clinton’s remarks came during a public conversation with Remnick in New York City. He pressed her on her longtime support for a two-state solution, and she answered that such an outcome was not anywhere near the offing in the Israeli and Palestinian political situations.
She also said, “There are a lot of people who reject it because Trump did it, but it’s the only game in town. There’s nothing else.” That line put her on record backing a Republican president’s plan at a moment when debate over Gaza’s future remains centered on whether any alternative can move beyond slogans and into enforceable steps.
Trump’s 20-point plan
Clinton said she believed the full 20-point approach could offer a feasible way to end the war overseas. In her telling, the plan does more than call for the disarmament of Hamas; it also includes reconstruction and a political path for Palestinians, which she described as the part most likely to keep the proposal from stopping at a single demand.
She went further in describing the package’s scope: “But I really believe if we took this 20-point plan, which starts with the disarmament of Hamas — a huge, important step yet to be accomplished — but took all of the 20 points so that it wasn’t just disarm Hamas, and maybe do some reconstruction and build some hotels, resorts on the coast,” she said.
Clinton’s two-state view
The exchange also showed where Clinton’s long-standing position meets the current political reality she described. She said she still supports a two-state solution, but added that it is not close to happening in the current Israeli and Palestinian political situations. That left her endorsing Trump’s plan as a practical framework rather than as a complete settlement.
For readers following the Gaza debate, the immediate takeaway is that Clinton has publicly elevated Trump’s proposal above the other options now in circulation. The political argument now turns on whether anyone can turn that praise into a concrete negotiating track that starts with Hamas disarmament and reaches the reconstruction and self-determination steps she named.
