Overview

• Hamas said late Friday it is ready to release all Israeli hostages, including remains, under the exchange formula in the U.S. proposal and to enter immediate talks on implementation details.
• President Trump gave Hamas until Sunday at 6 p.m. Washington time to respond, warning of severe consequences if the plan is rejected after an earlier three–to–four day window.
• The 20‑point framework includes a ceasefire, hostage releases within 72 hours, disarmament of Hamas, a phased Israeli pullout, and a U.S./international transitional authority for Gaza.
• Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has publicly backed the proposal as mediators from Qatar, Egypt and Turkey press Hamas, which remains split and has sought changes on disarmament and expulsions.
• Israeli strikes and ground operations continued in Gaza with high civilian tolls and mass displacement reported by UN agencies, as some humanitarian groups curtailed activities due to intensified fighting.
