Overview

• The 20/21-point proposal links an immediate halt to fighting to rapid hostage releases within 48–72 hours, a staged Israeli withdrawal and large Palestinian prisoner exchanges, including 250 serving life terms and about 1,700 detained since October 2023.
• Hamas would be excluded from governing Gaza, its military infrastructure dismantled and eligible members offered amnesty if they commit to peaceful coexistence, while a technocratic Palestinian committee operates under an international Council of Peace led by Trump with Tony Blair named.
• Trump and Netanyahu warned the plan will not take effect without Hamas’ assent, and Trump pledged full U.S. support for Israel to continue operations if the group rejects the terms.
• Hamas officials said they had not yet received the latest formal proposal from mediators, as the U.S., Israel and Qatar announced a trilateral mechanism and Washington cited backing from key Arab partners for desmilitarization and stabilization.
• The plan outlines non-annexation and a gradual IDF pullout, potential Israeli security perimeters in the near term, resumption of UN‑led humanitarian aid and a temporary international stabilization force, with a conditional pathway toward Palestinian statehood.
