Overview

  • President Trump hosts Prime Minister Netanyahu at the White House to push a U.S.-crafted 21-point proposal, with Trump signaling optimism and Netanyahu saying the plan is not finalized.
  • Arab officials briefed on the proposal say it calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages within 48 hours and a phased Israeli withdrawal, though details remain under negotiation.
  • Israeli officials have raised concerns to U.S. counterparts over post-war security control in Gaza, the role of Palestinian security forces and the fate of Hamas officials.
  • Israeli tanks advanced deeper into Gaza City, nearing key hospitals, as medics reported fresh casualties and Gaza’s health ministry put the Palestinian death toll above 66,000.
  • Hamas says it has not received a new offer; its military wing reported losing contact with two hostages in Gaza City and requested a 24-hour pause to try to locate them.
