No side has committed to the leak, which ties a rapid hostage release to a foreign-led security presence.

Overview

  • The Washington Post obtained a three-page draft and confirmed with two foreign governments that it calls for a ceasefire, release of hostages within 48 hours and a phased Israeli withdrawal.
  • The framework includes amnesty or safe passage for certain Hamas members who accept peaceful coexistence, a temporary technocratic administration in Gaza and a multinational stabilization force to train Palestinian police.
  • Egyptian and Qatari intermediaries, after consulting Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey, proposed a two-stage hostage release, a full Israeli pullout and storing Hamas weapons under international supervision.
  • Hamas said it has not formally received new proposals, while its Al Qassam Brigades reported losing contact with two hostages and urged a 24-hour halt to strikes in parts of Gaza City to try to reach them.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected moves toward Palestinian statehood and is set to meet President Trump on Monday as talks continue and unresolved details persist, including a proposed Israeli pledge not to strike in Qatar.
