Overview

• The White House proposal conditions a ceasefire on releasing all hostages within 72 hours, disarming Hamas, and excluding the group from governing Gaza.
• Israel accepted the plan, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu warned that Israel will "finish the job" if Hamas does not comply.
• President Trump set a three- to four-day window for a response, leaving the ultimatum active as of October 3.
• Hamas’s Gaza-based military leader Izz al-Din al-Haddad told mediators he rejects the terms and intends to continue fighting, according to BBC reporting.
• Some Hamas political figures in Qatar are described as more open to the proposal but lack control over captives, with reports estimating 48 hostages in Gaza and about 20 believed alive as commanders resist giving up their leverage.
