Overview

• President Trump gave Hamas “three or four days” to answer the 20/21-point proposal, and the White House has signaled the timeline could be flexible.
• Hamas political bureau member Mohammad Nazzal says the plan has points of concern and a formal position will be announced soon, with mediators in contact.
• Reports describe internal divisions in Hamas, including opposition from Gaza-based military chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad to clauses seen as ending the movement’s rule.
• The plan pairs an immediate ceasefire and hostage releases within 72 hours with Hamas disarmament, major Palestinian prisoner releases, phased Israeli withdrawal, and a transitional authority led by Trump, with Tony Blair mentioned for a leading role.
• Israel backs the proposal and warns it will “finish the job” if it is rejected, as regional actors such as Egypt and Qatar press Hamas to engage and fighting continues in Gaza City.
