Trump Unveils Gaza Ceasefire Plan as Netanyahu Offers Conditional Backing and Hamas Reviews

The U.S. blueprint ties a truce with swift hostage releases to verified Hamas disarmament under a U.S.-led interim authority.

Overview

  • The 20–21 point proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, release of Israeli hostages within 72 hours, phased Israeli withdrawal, and a transitional administration chaired by Trump with Tony Blair in a leading operational role.
  • Hamas has begun internal consultations, with delegations in Qatar and contacts involving Turkey saying they will study the plan responsibly before responding.
  • Netanyahu endorsed the framework with conditions, stated the IDF would remain in much of Gaza for now, and insisted he did not agree to the creation of a Palestinian state.
  • Trump pledged full support for Israel to intensify military action if Hamas rejects the plan, while Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich denounced the initiative as a diplomatic failure.
  • Israeli airstrikes and ground operations continued in Gaza as officials cited 1,219 people killed in Israel on Oct. 7 and 66,055 Palestinians killed since, according to figures the UN deems reliable.
