Overview

• Netanyahu said the plan is not finalized and met again with Trump envoy Steve Witkoff ahead of a planned White House meeting, as his team views the document as a basis for talks while rejecting a governing role for the Palestinian Authority.
• Israeli forces reported dozens of deaths in Gaza during renewed raids and advances toward Gaza City, and said they killed five militants after repelling an anti-tank missile attack.
• Hamas said contact was lost with two Israeli hostages, Matan Angrest and Omri Miran, warned their lives are in serious danger, and urged a 24-hour halt to airstrikes and a pullback to enable rescue efforts.
• A Knesset security committee advanced Itamar Ben Gvir's bill to impose the death penalty for terrorists, drawing warnings from hostage coordinator Gal Hirsch that it could harm efforts to free captives.
• Al-Arabiya reported Arab states proposed changes to the U.S. plan, including immediate Palestinian Authority administrative responsibilities and a clearer Israeli withdrawal timetable, while Hamas said it has not received new mediator proposals.
