Overview

• The U.S. proposal ties an immediate halt to fighting to the release of all remaining hostages within 48–72 hours, with Israeli operations frozen and a phased pullback to follow.
• Gaza would be governed temporarily by a technocratic Palestinian committee overseen by a U.S.-led Peace Council that includes Tony Blair, with Hamas excluded from future governance.
• The plan requires Hamas’s disarmament and destruction of military infrastructure, offers conditional amnesty and safe passage to members who renounce violence, and establishes a regional stabilization force.
• Israel would release 250 prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 detainees from Gaza as aid scales up under UN and Red Cross oversight, alongside reconstruction funding and special economic zones.
• Hamas says it is reviewing the proposal after initially reporting it had not received it, while Netanyahu backs the plan yet insists the IDF would remain in most of Gaza and rejects a Palestinian state as the U.S. cites support from Qatar, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Jordan and announces a coordination mechanism with Qatar.
