Trump and Netanyahu Endorse 20-Point Gaza Plan Tying Ceasefire to Hostage Releases

Hamas has yet to accept, leaving the U.S.-backed proposal under review by Qatari and Egyptian mediators.

Overview

  • The White House plan calls for all hostages to be freed within 72 hours of agreement, phased Israeli withdrawals, Hamas disarmament, and a temporary international stabilization force.
  • A transitional governing board for Gaza, the Board of Peace, would be led by Trump with participation from regional leaders and former U.K. prime minister Tony Blair.
  • Trump said Israel has U.S. “full backing” to act if Hamas rejects the deal, and Netanyahu vowed to “finish the job” should the group resist or undermine it.
  • The Palestinian Authority welcomed the framework and pledged reforms to facilitate a return to governing in Gaza, as Hamas signaled it would consult before responding.
  • Netanyahu apologized to Qatar for a Sept. 9 strike in Doha and pledged not to repeat it, while Israeli operations in Gaza continued during the plan’s rollout.
