  • President Trump urged Israel to stop bombing Gaza immediately to enable safe and rapid transfers of hostages.
  • Hamas said any releases depend on freeing Palestinian prisoners and on unspecified “appropriate conditions” at the exchange locations.
  • Trump set a deadline for Hamas to accept the plan by Monday 00:00 MESZ.
  • The White House said Jared Kushner and special envoy Steve Witkoff are in Egypt to help finalize the mechanism for releases under the plan.
