Arab and Muslim States Press Hamas on Trump’s Gaza Ceasefire Plan as U.S. Deadline Nears

Mediators demand a rapid reply under a three-to-four day clock set by the White House.

Overview

  • Egypt’s foreign minister said Cairo, with Qatar and Türkiye, is urging Hamas to accept the proposal and warned that refusal could trigger further escalation.
  • Hamas officials say they are reviewing the 20-point plan and will respond soon, with concerns focused on disarmament and the timeline to release all 48 remaining hostages.
  • Trump’s proposal links an immediate ceasefire and a rapid hostage-prisoner exchange to Hamas disarmament and an internationally overseen transitional authority led by a proposed Board of Peace and an International Stabilization Force.
  • Netanyahu publicly backed the plan after securing changes, while foreign ministers from eight Arab and Muslim states welcomed the effort but sought clarifications, including on a full Israeli withdrawal not spelled out in the text.
  • Key implementation details remain unresolved, and the talks unfold against a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where Palestinian authorities report more than 66,000 deaths and new Israeli evacuation orders in Gaza City.
