Overview

• Trump told Axios and Reuters the negotiations are in their final stages and he will try to close the deal with Netanyahu at the White House on Monday.
• Israeli officials say Netanyahu has not accepted the plan and wants revisions, especially on firmer disarmament language and any role for the Palestinian Authority.
• Hamas says it has not received a formal proposal from mediators but will study any offer; its al-Qassam Brigades said contact was lost with two hostages in Gaza City and requested a 24-hour halt to air sorties.
• Reported elements include releasing all hostages within 48 hours of a ceasefire, a permanent truce, gradual Israeli withdrawal, dismantling Hamas’s military capability, a transitional Gaza administration without Hamas, amnesty or safe passage for disarmed members, security contributions from Arab and Muslim countries, and US-backed limits on annexation.
• Fighting in Gaza City continues with Israeli strikes including the 16‑storey Macca tower, the Gaza health ministry reports more than 66,000 dead, and Israel says 48 hostages remain in Gaza with roughly 20 believed alive.
