GAZA CITY (---), 30/09/2025.- Palestiians inspect destroyed buildings following an Israeli air strike during an Israeli military operation in Gaza City, Gaza Strip, 30 September 2025. More than 65,600 Palestinians have been killed in the Gaza Strip since October 2023, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, and about 1,200 Israelis have been killed since the launch of an Israeli military campaign in response to a cross-border attack by Hamas on 07 October 2023.

Overview

  • Hamas is consulting its political and military leaders through mediators in Doha after President Trump gave the group three to four days to respond.
  • The 20-point proposal ties an immediate cease-fire to the release of all hostages within 72 hours and requires Hamas to disarm and forgo any role in governing Gaza.
  • The plan creates a U.S.-led transition authority known as the 'Junta de la Paz' chaired by Trump with figures including Tony Blair, plus a temporary international stabilization force.
  • Netanyahu endorsed the framework but rejected a Palestinian state and said Israeli forces would remain in most of Gaza, drawing criticism from hard-right allies such as Bezalel Smotrich.
  • Qatar, Egypt and several Arab and Western governments welcomed the initiative as heavy fighting continues in Gaza, where official health figures report more than 66,000 Palestinians killed.
