Overview

• President Trump unveiled a 20-point proposal with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that ties a ceasefire and Gaza reconstruction to Hamas releasing all hostages, relinquishing power and disarming in exchange for amnesty and major prisoner releases.
• Qatar and Egypt delivered the plan to Hamas in Doha, and the group is reviewing it with reservations over disarmament and the mechanics of rapidly releasing an estimated 48 hostages, according to regional officials.
• Israel provided a qualified acceptance after last‑minute changes, but timelines for withdrawal, benchmarks for Palestinian Authority readiness, and who governs Gaza during transition remain unresolved.
• The Gulf Cooperation Council’s secretary-general said regional troop contributions to the proposed international stabilisation force cannot be committed “at the moment,” underscoring operational uncertainty.
• Foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Qatar and Egypt publicly welcomed engaging with the framework, increasing pressure on Hamas as the White House holds to a three‑ to four‑day response window.
