Overview

• President Trump and Prime Minister Netanjahu unveiled the plan in Washington, with Israel’s public acceptance placing the next move with Hamas via Qatari and Egyptian mediators.
• The White House framework links an immediate halt to fighting to a swift hostage release within 72 hours of Israel’s assent, paired with a large prisoner exchange of roughly 2,000 Palestinian detainees.
• Trump warned that if Hamas rejects the proposal the U.S. would fully support Israeli action, and he said he expects a response in “three or four days,” while the document specifies a 72-hour window for Hamas to agree.
• The plan excludes Hamas from governance, installs a technocratic Palestinian interim committee overseen by an international ‘Board of Peace’ reportedly led by Trump with Tony Blair involved, and calls for a multinational stabilization force in Gaza.
• Qatar said the proposal requires further development and clarity on how Israeli withdrawals and demilitarization would be enforced, even as the UN, EU leaders, several Arab states, the UK and France, and the Palestinian Authority voiced conditional support.
