Overview
- The president gave Hamas until Sunday at 6 p.m. Washington time to accept his 20‑point proposal, warning on Truth Social that failure would trigger an unprecedented military response.
- Hamas has told mediators it is still consulting and needs more time, with officials signaling internal splits between political leaders abroad and Gaza-based fighters over disarmament and a 72‑hour timetable for releasing hostages.
- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly accepted the framework and cautioned that Israel would continue its campaign and could "finish the job" if Hamas rejects the offer.
- The proposal calls for an immediate truce, a phased Israeli withdrawal tied to Gaza’s demilitarization, the release of roughly 48 hostages within 72 hours in exchange for large prisoner releases, and a transitional authority overseen by a 'Board of Peace' including Donald Trump and Tony Blair with an international stabilization force.
- Reporting describes support from several Arab and Western countries, ongoing roles for Qatar and Egypt as mediators, and Trump’s appeal for innocent Palestinian civilians to move to safer areas in Gaza.
