1. Bring home the hostages.
2. Topple the rule of Hamas, demilitarize the Gaza Strip, and ensure Israeli security control.
3. Establish an American-European-Arab-Palestinian civil administration that will manage civilian affairs in the Gaza Strip and lay the foundation for an alternative in the future that is neither Hamas nor Abbas.
4. Return the Israeli residents of the north to their homes by September 1 and revitalize life in the Western Negev.
