Trump Sets 3–4 Day Deadline as Hamas Studies U.S.–Israel 20-Point Gaza Plan

The proposal ties an immediate truce and 72-hour hostage return to Hamas disarmament and a U.S.-led transitional authority, while Netanyahu rejects Palestinian statehood and says Israeli forces will stay in much of Gaza.

Overview

  • Israel has given conditional backing to the plan, with Netanyahu stating the IDF will remain across most of Gaza and emphasizing that no Palestinian state was agreed.
  • Hamas has begun internal consultations through mediators in Qatar, Egypt and Turkey, with Trump warning that refusal within three to four days would bring a “sad end.”
  • The blueprint calls for an immediate cease-fire, the return of all hostages within about 72 hours, mass Palestinian prisoner releases including 250 serving life terms and around 1,700 detained after Oct. 7, and the disarmament and political exclusion of Hamas.
  • Governance would shift to a U.S.-led transitional authority overseen by a “Peace Junta” involving international figures such as Tony Blair, alongside a temporary international stabilization force and expanded humanitarian access.
  • Regional and Western governments including Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the UK, France, Germany, Italy and Russia voiced support, as Israeli operations and a severe humanitarian toll in Gaza—reported at more than 66,000 deaths—continue.
