Trump Says Netanyahu Backs U.S. Gaza Peace Plan as White House Releases 20-Point Proposal

Hamas says it has not received a formal mediated offer, leaving acceptance uncertain.

Overview

  • The White House published the plan’s text detailing an immediate cease-fire, the return of all hostages within 48–72 hours, major prisoner exchanges, and a phased Israeli withdrawal.
  • Post-war governance would shift to a technocratic transition authority overseen by an international Peace Board reportedly chaired by Trump and including Tony Blair, alongside a multinational stabilization force for security and demilitarization.
  • Trump announced that Netanyahu accepted the proposal, and Netanyahu publicly voiced support, saying it would return hostages and end Hamas’s rule while preventing future threats from Gaza.
  • Hamas officials said they have not received an official offer through Egyptian or Qatari mediators and have not agreed to the plan, though they signaled willingness to consider proposals.
  • European leaders such as France’s Emmanuel Macron and Italy’s Giorgia Meloni backed the initiative, even as Israeli far-right ministers threatened to quit the coalition over any Palestinian Authority role or limits on Israel’s military presence.
