- President Trump warned he will give full support to renewed Israeli military action if the plan is rejected, setting a three- to four-day window for a decision.
- Netanyahu endorsed the framework but said he rejects recognizing a Palestinian state and that Israeli forces would remain in much of Gaza, vowing to “finish the job” if Hamas blocks the deal.
- The plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, all hostages returned within 72 hours, large prisoner releases by Israel, Hamas disarmament and exclusion from governance, UN-supervised aid, a temporary international stabilization force, and a U.S.-chaired “Peace Board” including Tony Blair.
