Trump, Netanyahu Announce Near Consensus on Gaza 20-Point Plan With U.S.-Led Peace Council

Hamas has yet to accept the proposal.

Overview

  • After White House talks, President Trump said an agreement to end the Gaza war is "more than very close" and that Israel has agreed to the framework.
  • The proposal was discussed with Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, and the leaders held a call with Qatar's prime minister during the meeting.
  • Trump announced he will chair a transitional Peace Council to oversee Gaza's reconstruction, with other heads of state and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair expected to join.
  • A White House outline describes a ceasefire, a hostage–prisoner exchange, phased withdrawal of Israeli forces, disarmament of Hamas, and a technocratic interim cabinet that excludes Hamas.
  • The joint appearance featured prepared statements without a question-and-answer session for reporters.
