Trump Presses Netanyahu at White House on 21-Point Gaza Ceasefire Plan

Netanyahu's rejection of a path to Palestinian statehood threatens buy-in for the U.S. proposal.

Overview

  • The U.S. plan proposes an immediate halt to fighting, rapid releases of hostages, a phased Israeli withdrawal, Gaza’s demilitarization and major reconstruction under international oversight.
  • The roadmap outlines future governance in Gaza without Hamas and a credible path toward Palestinian statehood after rebuilding and reforms.
  • Hamas has not formally accepted the proposal through mediators, and its armed wing says it lost contact with two hostages in Gaza City because of Israeli raids.
  • Trump says he will not permit Israeli annexation of the West Bank as he seeks Israeli agreement during today’s White House meeting.
  • Israeli officials acknowledge major implementation hurdles, including full Hamas disarmament, and key details on financing and security arrangements remain unclear, while families of Israeli hostages urge Trump to secure a ceasefire and releases.
