Overview

• Trump set a response deadline for Sunday at 6 p.m. Washington time and warned of severe consequences for Hamas if the proposal is rejected.
• A Hamas official told AFP the group is still consulting and needs additional time, while political bureau member Mohammed Nazzal said a formal reply will come soon.
• The 20–21 point plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of remaining hostages within 72 hours, Hamas disarmament, and a transitional authority overseen by international figures including Trump and Tony Blair.
• Reports describe a split inside Hamas, with negotiators in Qatar more open to talks and Gaza-based military leaders resisting over hostage leverage and terms viewed as dismantling the movement.
• Israel publicly backs the plan and continues military operations in Gaza as Qatar relays Hamas’s preliminary messages, the U.S. labels the offer a last opportunity to Egypt, the EU voices support, and many Gazans urge a deal to end the fighting.
