Overview
- Trump’s 20-point plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, Hamas disarmament, a phased Israeli pullback, and the release of all 48 hostages within 72 hours.
- The president said Hamas has about three or four days to accept the proposal and warned of severe consequences if it refuses.
- Qatar and Egypt delivered the text to Hamas as mediators, and Qatar’s prime minister said practical and implementation challenges require clarity, suggesting a response could take longer than the U.S. timeline.
- Eight Arab and Muslim states publicly welcomed the announcement and offered to engage, while the plan envisions a Trump‑chaired “Board of Peace” to oversee reconstruction and a transitional administration.
- As diplomacy continues, Israel’s defense minister warned residents to leave Gaza City, saying those who remain will be treated as terrorists.
