Overview
- White House released a 20-point framework that would end fighting immediately if both sides accept and return all hostages within 72 hours.
- Israel publicly agreed to the plan after Trump-Netanyahu talks, while Hamas has not accepted, with some officials saying they had not yet received the offer.
- The outline removes Hamas from governance, mandates Gaza’s demilitarization, and installs a technocratic Palestinian committee under an international “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump with Tony Blair involved.
- Terms include Israel releasing about 250 Palestinians serving life sentences and roughly 1,700–2,000 Gazans detained since Oct. 7, alongside commitments not to annex or occupy Gaza.
- Trump warned Israel would have full U.S. backing to resume military action if Hamas rejects the deal, as Qatar and Egypt engage the group and Netanyahu issued a formal apology to Qatar over a deadly strike in Doha.
