Overview

• Trump publicly warned Hamas to accept the 20-point proposal by Sunday evening Washington time, saying otherwise an unprecedented campaign would target the group.
• Israel has endorsed the plan, and Trump pledged full U.S. backing for Israel to continue or escalate military action if Hamas rejects or violates the terms.
• The proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, release of roughly 48 hostages and remains within 72 hours, Hamas disarmament, and a temporary international administration for Gaza led by Trump with Tony Blair involved.
• Hamas told mediators it needs more time, calling a 72-hour full release extremely difficult and signaling a preference for phased exchanges given operational and communication constraints.
• Qatar and Egypt are pressing Hamas to engage, while some states, including Pakistan, say the public text diverges from drafts they saw, underscoring diplomatic friction as the threat of renewed escalation looms.
