Overview
- Trump gave Hamas until Sunday 6 p.m. Washington time to accept his 20-point plan, warning that “all HELL” would follow if it refuses.
- Israel publicly endorsed the blueprint, mediators Egypt and Qatar are still negotiating details, and Trump urged Israel to stop bombing immediately to enable safe hostage releases.
- Hamas said it would hand Gaza’s administration to Palestinian technocrats and is prepared to release all remaining hostages, but it has not affirmed disarmament and says some terms need further consultations.
- Coverage diverged on Hamas’s response, with some reports citing agreement to hand over captives and others describing only conditional acceptance pending talks.
- Hamas has called the plan’s 72-hour timetable extremely difficult and floated phased releases; the framework pairs an immediate ceasefire with large prisoner exchanges—250 lifers, 1,700 detainees, and a 15-to-1 remains ratio—and a transitional governing authority.
