Overview

  • President Donald Trump hosted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to push Israel to accept a U.S.-crafted, roughly 21-point framework to halt the nearly two-year Gaza war.
  • The proposal envisions an immediate ceasefire, release of hostages within 48 hours, phased Israeli withdrawals, deployment of Arab or international security forces, a technocratic Palestinian interim administration and major reconstruction funding.
  • Netanyahu phoned Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani from the White House to apologize for Israel’s Sept. 9 strike in Doha, with reports saying he expressed sorrow over a Qatari security guard’s death.
  • Diplomats say Israel has objected to several elements and is seeking revisions, Arab states largely support the framework but want amendments and Hamas has not been centrally engaged, leaving the plan’s acceptance uncertain.
  • Trump said he was “very confident” about reaching a deal as Israeli tanks pushed deeper into Gaza City and Gaza health authorities reported more than 66,000 Palestinian deaths since October 2023.
