Overview

• BBC reports that Gaza military chief Izz al-Din al-Haddad told Qatari and Egyptian mediators he opposes the plan and urged rejection, while his forces control 48 hostages with roughly 20 believed alive.
• Hamas figures in Doha say they are studying amendments and propose phased releases, arguing a 72-hour handover of all captives is operationally unrealistic.
• The White House says President Trump will draw a firm red line, after he gave Hamas three to four days to respond, as Egypt, Qatar and Turkey press talks in Doha.
• Israel backs the U.S. framework calling for an immediate cease-fire, staged Israeli withdrawal, Hamas disarmament, and a temporary international or technocratic administration with a stabilization force in Gaza.
• Interviews from Gaza describe strong public support for ending the war and calls for Hamas to accept the offer, as Egyptian officials warn of likely escalation if the group rejects it.
