Overview

• The president will host the Israeli prime minister on Monday to review a U.S.-drafted framework seeking a ceasefire, hostage releases and a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
• Trump says an agreement is close and calls the moment a “real opportunity,” after briefings with Arab and Muslim leaders on the plan in New York.
• Netanyahu confirms he is working with Washington on the 21-point proposal, says it is unfinished, and is expected to seek changes under pressure from far-right coalition partners.
• Hamas says it has not received any U.S. proposal as its armed wing reports losing contact with two hostages and requests a 24-hour pause to attempt rescues.
• Reports from diplomatic and media sources describe core elements including a permanent ceasefire, the return of hostages within 48 hours of Israeli acceptance, and a post-war Gaza administration without Hamas.
