Overview

• Israel has publicly accepted the White House plan after Washington talks, and mediators in Qatar and Egypt have relayed the proposal to Hamas for formal review.
• The document requires release of all hostages within 72 hours of Israel’s assent, with Israel freeing about 250 prisoners serving life terms and roughly 1,700 other detainees.
• The plan conditions a ceasefire on Gaza’s demilitarization, bars Hamas from governance, and installs a technocratic Palestinian committee overseen by an international Board of Peace reportedly led by Trump with roles for figures such as Tony Blair.
• Trump set a three–to–four day deadline and warned of severe consequences if Hamas refuses, while the UN, several Arab states, the EU and leaders in France, the UK and Germany voiced support or readiness to help.
• Key uncertainties persist over timelines and mechanisms for Israeli troop withdrawals, the composition and protection of a stabilization force, verification of disarmament, and constraints from Israel’s domestic politics.
