Overview

• President Donald Trump unveiled a 20-point proposal at the White House with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, securing Israeli approval and support from several Arab leaders before putting the terms to Hamas.
• Hamas said it agreed to a prisoner exchange covering all remaining captives and the return of bodies taken on Oct. 7, and it signaled willingness to continue negotiations.
• Trump said Israel agreed to an initial withdrawal line inside Gaza, a step he indicated could lead to an immediate ceasefire if Hamas accepts the broader deal.
• Authorities and community groups in Australia are marking the two-year anniversary with separate vigils for Israeli victims and Palestinians, as police move to restrict a planned protest in Sydney over safety concerns.
• Palestinian authorities report more than 66,000 deaths in Gaza since the war began, while the Oct. 7 attack in Israel killed nearly 1,200 people and led to roughly 250 hostages being taken.
