Overview

• Trump gave Hamas three to four days to respond to a 20‑point proposal that ties an immediate ceasefire and rapid hostage releases to Hamas disarmament and a transitional international administration overseen by a “Peace Junta” including Tony Blair.
• Netanyahu endorsed the framework but said Israeli forces will remain in most of Gaza, a stance criticized by hard‑right coalition partners who oppose handing security to foreign forces.
• Hamas is formally studying the offer through Qatari and Egyptian mediation, with Palestinian sources seeking changes on disarmament and demanding guarantees for a full Israeli withdrawal and protection from targeted killings.
• Israeli strikes continued in Gaza, with the death toll reported by Gaza health authorities exceeding 66,000, and the ICRC suspending operations in Gaza City as Israel warned residents to leave or be treated as combatants.
• The Israeli Navy intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla; Spain created a permanent monitoring unit for its nationals as officials said activists would be taken to Israel for processing and deportation.
