Overview

• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed the U.S. plan but said Israeli forces would remain in much of Gaza, clouding the question of a full withdrawal.
• The blueprint includes an immediate cease-fire, phased Israeli pullout, release of hostages, Hamas disarmament, a temporary international stabilization force, and a U.S.-led transition authority.
• President Trump warned that a rejection by Hamas would prompt him to let Israel "do what it has to do," while citing backing from Arab and Islamic states.
• Mediators in Qatar, Egypt, and Turkey conveyed the proposal to Hamas, which said it will consider it in good faith under the tight timeline.
• Israeli strikes continued across Gaza, including a reported hit on a displacement tent in al-Mawashi that killed three, as officials reported 66,097 total deaths and 453 from starvation, and a NYT/Siena poll showed U.S. opinion shifting toward Palestinians.
