Trump, Netanyahu Unveil Gaza Cease-Fire and Governance Plan Tied to Rapid Hostage Release

Acceptance now rests with Hamas as Qatari and Egyptian mediators convey terms that require disarmament, bar the group from rule and create a temporary international authority.

Overview

  • The 20/21-point proposal links an immediate cease-fire to releasing all remaining hostages within roughly 48–72 hours of Israel accepting the terms.
  • Israel endorsed the plan, and Trump said the U.S. would fully back Israel in continuing military action if Hamas rejects or undermines the deal.
  • The framework calls for Hamas disarmament, phased Israeli withdrawals, a temporary international stabilization force, and a transitional governing board led by Trump with Tony Blair participating.
  • Provisions include amnesty and safe passage for Hamas members who decommission weapons, release of hundreds of Palestinian prisoners by Israel, and commitments to rebuild Gaza without forced displacement.
  • Qatar and Egypt are relaying the plan to Hamas for review, several Arab and Muslim states voiced support, the Palestinian Authority signaled readiness to reform and return to Gaza, and Netanyahu apologized to Qatar for a Sept. 9 strike as fighting continued.
