Overview

• Trump said he will not allow Israel to annex the West Bank after a call with Netanyahu, who is due at the White House on Monday.
• In his UN address, Netanyahu did not announce annexation, defended strikes on Iran’s nuclear program, and faced a walkout by hundreds of diplomats.
• US officials circulated a 21-point framework reported to seek a durable ceasefire, release of all Hamas-held hostages, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and governance arrangements excluding Hamas, with a possible multinational role.
• Diplomats said Arab partners broadly engaged the plan but sought changes, including protections for Jerusalem’s status, expanded humanitarian aid, measures on settlements, and full hostage release terms.
• Envoy Steve Witkoff said some form of breakthrough could be announced in coming days, even as fighting in Gaza continues and Israel says about 48 hostages remain, with roughly 20 believed alive.
