• President Donald Trump said there is a "real chance" for a Middle East breakthrough and will meet Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sept. 29 to press the cease-fire plan.
• Netanyahu told Fox News the U.S.-crafted 21-point proposal is not finalized and signaled gaps with Washington, calling Palestinian Authority involvement a red line.
• Reports say the plan envisions release of all remaining hostages, a permanent truce, phased withdrawal of Israeli forces, removal of Hamas from governance and international oversight of Gaza’s administration, with Arab or Islamic participation in security and reconstruction aid.
• Hamas said it has not received a new proposal and stated it is prepared to review any offer conveyed by mediators.
• The Israel Defense Forces said ground forces are moving to seize Gaza City and claimed about 140 targets were struck in the last day, while Gaza authorities reported deaths have surpassed 66,000.
