Overview

• Hamas told mediators it is still consulting on President Trump's 20-point proposal and requested additional time to study it.
• Trump publicly set a three- to four-day window for Hamas to respond to the plan, which Israel has endorsed.
• The proposal would require Hamas to disarm and forgo any future role in governing Gaza, according to reports on the document.
• The BBC reported that the Gaza-based military chief, identified as Izz al-Din al-Haddad, rejects the plan and intends to keep fighting, while political figures in Qatar are described as more open but lack control over the hostages.
• Hamas’s military wing is skeptical of a reported requirement to hand over all captives within 72 hours after a ceasefire, with estimates suggesting about 48 hostages remain in Gaza and Israeli assessments that roughly 20 are alive.
