Overview

• Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar said in Zagreb that Israel accepts the U.S. proposal as the basis to end the Gaza war.
• The framework envisions all 48 hostages released on day one in exchange for hundreds of convicted militants and thousands of Palestinian detainees.
• Israel would cancel its planned operation to seize Gaza City and enter negotiations managed by President Trump, with fighting paused while talks proceed.
• Sa’ar reiterated Israel’s core conditions of the hostages’ return and Hamas disarmament, aligning with Security Cabinet principles.
• Hamas said it received American ideas via Qatar and Egypt and will discuss only a deal that declares the war over, ensures full Israeli withdrawal, and establishes an independent Palestinian committee to run Gaza; it has also pushed back on freeing all captives in a single day.
