Trump is pressing a 21-point proposal he presented to Arab leaders at the U.N., saying “something special” is close as the two leaders meet at the White House today. Israeli officials say Netanyahu has not accepted the plan and will seek changes, citing concerns over Gaza’s post-war security control and any role for Palestinian Authority-linked forces, with far-right partners warning against concessions. Israeli tanks pushed deeper into Gaza City, closing in near Al Shifa Hospital as strikes and demolitions intensified and medics reported new deaths and mass displacement. Hamas says it has received no new offer from mediators and reported losing contact with two hostages in Gaza City, while roughly 48 hostages are believed held and Israeli officials estimate about 20 are alive. Reported plan elements include an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages within 48 hours, phased Israeli withdrawal, significant prisoner releases, disarmament of Hamas, and a transitional administration or international security force, though the proposal has not been formally unveiled.
