Overview

• A Hamas official told AFP the group is still consulting mediators, with sources describing split views between immediate acceptance and conditional approval that rejects disarmament and expulsions.
• The U.S. proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages within 72 hours, Hamas disarmament, phased Israeli withdrawal, and a transitional administration overseen by an international Board of Peace led by President Trump with Tony Blair floated as co-chair.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has endorsed the framework, and President Trump set a short window for a response with warnings of consequences, while reporting indicates the timeline could be flexible.
• Hamas is seeking amendments and international guarantees, including a full Israeli withdrawal and assurances against assassinations, according to sources close to the group’s leadership.
• Regional officials voiced reservations: Pakistan’s foreign minister said the public plan was altered from an Arab draft, the GCC’s chief questioned Netanyahu’s intent and cautioned against Gulf troop deployments, and analysts flagged vague timelines and enforcement as fighting and humanitarian suffering continue in Gaza.
