Overview

• The White House released a 20-point framework tying an immediate halt to fighting to the release of all remaining hostages within about 72 hours, a phased Israeli withdrawal, Gaza’s demilitarization, and the exclusion of Hamas from future governance under an internationally supervised interim administration.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly endorsed the plan in Washington and warned Israel would resume forcefully if Hamas rejects or subverts it, while conveying deep regret to Qatar over a prior strike in Doha and pledging no repeat.
• The Palestinian Authority welcomed the proposal and vowed reforms including new elections, changes to school curricula, and an end to payments tied to attacks, positioning itself to assume responsibilities after a transitional period.
• Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Turkey, Indonesia and Pakistan signaled readiness to work with the U.S. on finalizing and implementing the deal, as the UN, France’s Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, EU Council President António Costa and Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul voiced support.
• Hamas received the offer via Qatari and Egyptian mediators and said it will carefully review it, while analysts note unresolved questions on sequencing, enforcement and the longer-term path to Palestinian statehood.
