Overview
- Hamas issued an official statement saying it has not received any cease-fire proposal from President Donald Trump, contradicting U.S. claims of progress.
- Trump is set to meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on Monday to press the initiative, with no formal Israeli confirmation of the plan so far.
- Media and diplomatic reports outline provisions including phased Israeli withdrawal, exchanges of Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, disarmament of Hamas, and a technocratic interim authority for Gaza.
- The White House circulated the framework to Arab and Muslim leaders on the margins of the UN General Assembly, and Tony Blair has been mentioned by outlets as a potential lead for the transitional body.
- Vice President J.D. Vance voiced cautious optimism and said Gaza and the West Bank should be governed by their residents, as Hamas’ armed wing separately asked for a temporary halt after losing contact with two hostages.
