Overview

• Trump told Axios and Reuters the negotiations are in their final stages and said he received highly positive responses ahead of today's White House talks with Benjamin Netanyahu.
• Israeli officials signaled significant gaps remain, citing tougher enforcement on Hamas disarmament, limits on any Palestinian Authority role, and opposition to a pathway toward Palestinian statehood.
• Key provisions described in the plan include an immediate cease-fire, release of all hostages within 48 hours, phased Israeli withdrawal, an international security presence, a technocratic interim Palestinian administration, major reconstruction funding, and a pledge not to strike Qatar.
• Hamas representatives said they have not formally received the proposal, and figures close to the group rejected unconditional disarmament, underscoring questions about implementation.
• Jordan’s King Abdullah II reported broad consensus around the initiative, the UAE reiterated backing for a cease-fire and a two-state solution at the UN, and fallout from Israel’s Doha strike—over which U.S. prior knowledge is disputed—has complicated mediation.
