Overview

• U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff said Washington shared a detailed postwar framework at the UN and expressed confidence a breakthrough could be announced within days.
• Leaders from Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Jordan, Turkey, Indonesia, Pakistan and Egypt endorsed Trump’s outline, which calls for a permanent ceasefire, the release of all hostages, a phased Israeli withdrawal, and a Muslim-led stabilisation force overseeing a Hamas-free administration with some Palestinian Authority involvement.
• Trump told regional counterparts he would block Israeli annexation of the West Bank, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Witkoff began follow-up talks to refine the plan with Arab foreign ministers.
• Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu departed for New York and Washington, saying he will condemn countries recognizing Palestine in his UN address and insisting, “There will be no Palestinian state,” ahead of a White House meeting on Monday.
• More than 150 UN member states have now recognized a Palestinian state as Gaza’s reported death toll surpasses 65,000, increasing pressure after an independent UN commission concluded Israel committed genocide.
