Overview
- The White House released a detailed plan calling for an immediate suspension of hostilities, freezing front lines and initiating a staged Israeli withdrawal to an agreed line.
- Within 72 hours of Israel’s public acceptance, all hostages would be returned in exchange for Israel freeing 250 prisoners serving life terms and 1,700 Gazans detained after October 7, with no forced displacement from the enclave.
- Gaza’s interim governance would shift to a Palestinian technocratic committee overseen by an international Peace Committee that includes Donald Trump and Tony Blair, alongside the demilitarization and dismantling of Hamas’ military infrastructure.
- Benjamin Netanyahu publicly backed the plan in Washington and warned that Israel would “finish the job” if Hamas rejects or obstructs it, a stance Trump said he would support.
- Hamas said it has not received an official offer via Qatari or Egyptian mediators, and Trump reiterated he will not allow Israeli annexation of the West Bank.
