Overview

• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said a delegation led by Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer will be in Sharm El‑Sheikh on Monday to discuss the next phase of the U.S. proposal.
• Hamas declared readiness to reach an agreement and start an immediate exchange under specified field conditions, with senior negotiator Khalil al‑Hayya arriving in Egypt for indirect talks.
• President Trump published a detailed map of an initial Israeli pullback that maintains Israeli control over Rafah’s Philadelphi corridor and parts of northern Gaza, saying a cease-fire would begin once Hamas agrees.
• Netanyahu offered guarded support, asserting the IDF will stay in most of Gaza and that Israel will oversee disarmament, and he warned Israel will return to fighting if hostages are not released within the timeline set by Trump.
• Foreign ministers from the UAE, Jordan, Indonesia, Pakistan, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Egypt welcomed Hamas’s stance and urged a halt to strikes and activation of the exchange mechanism, as Israeli hard-right ministers Ben‑Gvir and Smotrich criticized the move.
