Overview

  • Trump and Netanyahu agreed in a phone call this week to end the Gaza war within two weeks through a US-brokered ceasefire and governance framework.
  • The outlined framework calls for Egypt, the UAE and two other Arab states to govern Gaza in place of Hamas and exile its senior leadership.
  • The initiative aims to secure the release of about 50 hostages still held in Gaza, fewer than half of whom are believed to be alive.
  • It would expand the Abraham Accords to bring Syria, Saudi Arabia and additional Arab and Muslim nations into diplomatic relations with Israel.
  • International pressure is mounting on Israel to open humanitarian corridors in Gaza after the conflict left more than 56,000 Palestinians killed.
