Overview

• President Trump gave Hamas until Sunday 6 p.m. Washington time to accept a U.S.-drafted, 20‑point proposal tying hostage releases to a phased Israeli withdrawal.
• The plan envisions an international stabilization force for Gaza and a transitional administration made up of nonaligned Palestinians and international experts.
• Trump escalated pressure with threats that Hamas members would be “hunted and killed” if the group rejects the offer, while asserting that other countries support the deal.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly agreed to the plan and warned Israel would continue military operations in Gaza if Hamas refuses.
• Hamas was not involved in drafting the proposal and has told mediators Egypt and Qatar that its internal consultations continue, delaying a decision.
