Overview
- Trump says talks on his 21‑point proposal are in their final stages and reports very positive responses, with aides Steve Witkof and Jared Kushner engaging Netanyahu before today's meeting.
- Israeli officials describe core disagreements over the plan, pressing for binding dismantlement of Hamas and rejecting provisions seen as a route to Palestinian statehood, with no certainty of an announcement today.
- Hamas representatives say they have not been formally shown the proposal and object to requirements to surrender arms, calling disarmament terms unacceptable.
- Draft elements reported include an immediate cease-fire, release of all hostages within 48 hours, phased Israeli withdrawal, a technocratic interim administration under international and Arab oversight, an international security presence, large-scale reconstruction, a pathway toward statehood, and an Israeli pledge not to attack Qatar.
- Jordan cites large consensus for the plan among Arab and Muslim leaders, the UAE at the UN backs a two-state outcome and condemns the strike on Qatar, and Israeli media report tension within Netanyahu’s delegation ahead of the White House talks.
