Overview

• President Donald Trump hosted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House to narrow gaps on a U.S.-brokered 21-point framework circulated to Arab and Muslim states during the UN gathering.
• Reported terms include an immediate halt to fighting, release of all remaining hostages within 48 hours, a large prisoner exchange, phased Israeli withdrawal, and an interim international security force with technocratic administration leading toward a role for the Palestinian Authority.
• Netanyahu signaled negotiations yet raised objections as far-right coalition partners laid down red lines against PA involvement or any move perceived as advancing Palestinian statehood.
• Hamas has been briefed on the outlines but has not accepted disarmament or the plan pending a finalized text, with Qatar and Egypt remaining engaged as key mediators.
• From the White House, Netanyahu phoned Qatar’s prime minister to apologize for Israel’s Doha strike that strained mediation, as Israeli tanks advanced deeper into Gaza City and new casualties were reported.
