Overview

• Jared Kushner met in Miami with Israeli adviser Ron Dermer alongside White House envoy Steve Witkoff to discuss a new U.S. proposal.
• The proposal, reported by Axios, ties the release of 48 remaining hostages—about 20 believed alive—to a ceasefire, an end to Israel's Gaza City operation, and talks toward a full Israeli withdrawal.
• A withdrawal clause conditions a complete pullout on a new Gaza government's ability to enforce security, which Israel views as acceptable while Hamas calls it a trap.
• Channel 12, cited by The Yeshiva World, reports surviving hostages would be freed within 48 hours of a truce starting, with a 60-day ceasefire window as remains are returned and negotiations continue.
• Witkoff sent the plan to Hamas via an Israeli peace activist last week, while Trump has encouraged Kushner's expanded but unofficial role, and a U.S. official says the approach will not be a Bibi or Dermer plan.
