Overview

• The White House released a 20–21 point proposal calling for an immediate cease-fire once accepted, the release of all hostages within 48–72 hours, and phased Israeli withdrawals linked to Hamas disarmament.
• The plan establishes a temporary oversight body called the Board of Peace, to be led by President Trump with figures including Tony Blair, plus a stabilization force and a technocratic Palestinian committee to run civilian services.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu backed the framework and said Israel would retain security responsibilities for now, while President Trump pledged full U.S. support if Hamas rejects the deal.
• Qatar and Egypt have presented the proposal to Hamas for consideration, and several Arab states and the Palestinian Authority welcomed the effort while noting reservations.
• During the Washington talks, Netanyahu apologized to Qatar over a Sept. 9 strike in Doha that killed a Qatari serviceman, as Israeli forces continued operations in Gaza City.
