Overview

• President Donald Trump gave Hamas until 6 p.m. Sunday in Washington to accept a 20‑point plan or face what he called severe military consequences.
• Hamas said it would release all Israeli hostages, alive or dead, under the plan’s terms and is prepared for immediate mediated talks, while seeking changes to disarmament provisions.
• Leaders of the group meeting in Doha asked mediators for more time and are weighing internal differences over accepting disarmament and exclusion from Gaza’s future governance.
• The U.S. proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, hostage releases within 72 hours, Hamas disarmament, a phased Israeli withdrawal, and an internationally supervised transition led by a Peace Council chaired by Trump with Tony Blair confirmed.
• Israel publicly endorsed the plan, and the UN’s aid chief called it a window to scale up relief as conditions in Gaza remain dire and civilians are urged to move away from areas at risk.
