Overview
- Trump said a pathway exists for a Gaza deal and posted that “something special” is in motion, with a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu set for Monday at the White House.
- Hamas stated it has not received any proposal, and Israeli authorities have offered no official confirmation of an agreement.
- U.S. officials presented the concept to Arab and Muslim-majority countries during the U.N. General Assembly, and Vice President J.D. Vance said postwar Gaza and the West Bank should be governed by the people who live there.
- Accounts citing an anonymous Egyptian security source describe a multinational interim Palestinian authority without Hamas, disarmament of the group, a U.S.- and Arab-led provisional security force, expanded humanitarian access, and a phased Israeli withdrawal.
- The same source outlines sequencing with hostages returned following Israel’s public acceptance, subsequent large-scale Palestinian prisoner releases, and potential protections or conditional amnesty for certain Hamas figures, details that remain unconfirmed.
