Overview

• The White House published a 20-point framework calling for an immediate cease-fire, the release of all hostages within roughly 72 hours, and a phased Israeli pullback tied to large reciprocal prisoner releases.
• Netanyahu endorsed the proposal and warned Israel will act unilaterally if Hamas rejects it, as President Trump pledged full U.S. backing for Israel in that scenario.
• The plan outlines an internationally supervised technocratic transition for Gaza chaired by Trump with Tony Blair, excludes Hamas from governance, and foresees a later handover to a reformed Palestinian Authority.
• Security provisions include deploying an International Stabilization Force to demilitarize Gaza, train Palestinian police, and manage internal and border security as Israel steps back.
• Political and regional obstacles remain, with Hamas yet to deliver a formal reply, far-right partners threatening Netanyahu’s coalition, and a U.S.-announced apology to Qatar for an Israeli strike in Doha.
