Overview

• The U.S. 20‑point proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, a 72‑hour window for Hamas to release all hostages in exchange for about 1,950 Palestinian prisoners, and phased Israeli withdrawals that maintain a buffer zone.
• Hamas has not issued a formal response, with its Doha‑based political leaders signaling conditional openness while the Gaza military command led by Izz al‑Din al‑Haddad rejects the plan and vows to keep fighting.
• President Trump posted an ultimatum giving Hamas until 6 p.m. Sunday in Washington to accept, warning of severe consequences if it refuses, as Hamas told mediators it needs more time to consult.
• Qatar, Egypt and Turkey are pressing for technical amendments and, according to reports, have asked Washington to adjust elements on withdrawal timing, disarmament and hostage sequencing.
• Israeli strikes and ground operations continued with new casualties reported, and UNICEF said designated southern Gaza “safe zones” are a farce with no location safe for civilians.
