Overview
- Trump presented the plan to leaders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, and Pakistan on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly.
- The proposal calls for a permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, security forces drawn from Muslim and Palestinian actors, and a postwar administration without Hamas that includes the Palestinian Authority.
- U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff and Secretary of State Marco Rubio said talks were productive and expressed confidence that progress could be announced soon.
- Trump told Arab and Muslim leaders he would not allow Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to annex the West Bank, as several allies warned such a move could jeopardize the Abraham Accords.
- Israeli forces pushed toward central Gaza City with deadly strikes reported, Hamas warned hostages could be at greater risk, and reports said 48 hostages remain in captivity with about 20 believed alive.
