Overview

• Hamas notified mediators that its consultations are ongoing and that it needs longer than the three-to-four-day window President Trump outlined.
• Sources say the group seeks changes to clauses on disarmament and on the expulsion of members before giving a formal response.
• Senior figures are convening in Doha with Qatari and Turkish involvement as regional interlocutors press for acceptance to halt the fighting.
• Internal divisions persist between a camp favoring unconditional approval for a cease-fire under U.S. guarantees and another rejecting disarmament and preferring conditional acceptance.
• Trump’s proposal ties a cease-fire and 72-hour hostage releases to Hamas disarmament, phased Israeli withdrawal, and a U.S.-supervised transitional authority, drawing broad international backing yet leaving withdrawal timelines and disarmament mechanisms unclear.
