Trump Touts Gaza Proposal Tying Hostage Swap to Israeli Pullback as Hamas Denies Receiving Plan

The White House says the idea was floated to regional partners at the U.N., with key details and buy-in still unverified.

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.
