Overview

• The White House published a 20‑point framework after a Trump–Netanyahu meeting that sets an immediate truce, a staged Israeli pullback and the demilitarization of Hamas.
• All remaining hostages would be returned within 72 hours in exchange for a large prisoner release, with Israel pledging not to occupy or annex Gaza.
• The plan envisions a technocratic Palestinian committee for interim governance overseen by an international ‘Board of Peace’ chaired by Trump, with Tony Blair cited as a prospective member.
• Trump said Netanyahu agreed to back the proposal, while Hamas officials said they have not received or reviewed the plan and have not accepted it.
• Netanyahu issued a formal apology to Qatar over the Sept. 9 Doha strike as Israeli tanks advanced deeper into Gaza City, with Arab mediators briefed and described as broadly supportive pending Hamas’s stance.
