Overview

• The White House says a deal is within reach, yet the proposal remains under negotiation and neither Israel nor Hamas has formally approved it.
• Draft terms reported by multiple outlets include an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages within about 48 hours, Hamas disarmament, and a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
• The plan envisions a Gaza International Transitional Authority, possibly led by Tony Blair, with a multinational force managing border security and humanitarian access and an eventual handoff to a reformed Palestinian Authority.
• Families of Israeli hostages urged President Trump in an open letter to resist any effort to derail the proposal, stressing the urgency of freeing roughly four dozen captives.
• Israeli hardliners set public ‘red lines,’ with Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich demanding total military freedom in Gaza and rejecting a Palestinian Authority role, while Hamas says it has not received the plan but will review proposals through mediators; Trump has also ruled out any Israeli annexation of the West Bank.
