Trump Unveils Gaza Ceasefire Plan Backed by Netanyahu as Hamas Reviews Terms

Hamas is weighing a U.S.-brokered 20-point deal delivered by Qatari and Egyptian mediators that conditions a ceasefire on rapid hostage releases plus disarmament.

Overview

  • The White House plan calls for an immediate halt to fighting, the release of all hostages within hours of Israel’s formal acceptance, and a phased Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.
  • Reports differ on the release timetable, with Trump citing 72 hours while some officials briefed on the proposal described a 48-hour window.
  • The framework excludes Hamas from future governance and proposes a temporary international stabilization force and a transitional “Board of Peace” chaired by Trump with Tony Blair involved.
  • Netanyahu endorsed the plan and warned Israel would “finish the job” if Hamas rejects or subverts it, and Trump pledged full U.S. backing in that scenario.
  • Qatar and Egypt have conveyed the proposal to Hamas for review, the Palestinian Authority welcomed the initiative and pledged reforms, and Netanyahu apologized to Qatar over a recent Israeli strike as regional partners signaled cautious support.
