Overview

• Trump said he is very confident as the leaders convened to review a U.S.-backed framework intended to end the fighting and free hostages.
• Draft terms reported by multiple outlets include an immediate halt to hostilities if accepted, the return of all hostages within 48 hours of Israel’s public assent, a phased IDF pullout, Hamas disarmament and a technocratic Gaza administration under international supervision.
• Hamas said it has not received a formal offer through mediators, and its armed wing reported losing contact with two hostages during recent Israeli operations in Gaza City.
• Netanyahu has questioned any role for the Palestinian Authority and faces threats from far-right coalition partners, creating hurdles for elements of the plan.
• U.S. officials cite backing from key Arab states, and some reports say Tony Blair has been discussed for a potential transitional role, though that has not been confirmed.
