Overview

  • Hamas said it has received no new mediator proposals and that talks have been suspended since a September 9 strike in Doha that targeted its leaders.
  • U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said President Trump presented a 21-point plan to regional leaders and expressed confidence in a breakthrough soon.
  • Trump wrote that four days of negotiations were ongoing and described the discussions as inspired and productive with regional participation.
  • Israeli media reported Hamas had agreed in principle to release all hostages in exchange for prisoner releases and a phased Israeli withdrawal, a claim Hamas does not confirm.
  • Gaza officials raised the death toll to 66,005 as Trump plans to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the U.S., Egypt and Qatar continue mediation.
