Overview

• President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu said they agreed to the U.S.-proposed framework after their White House meeting.
• The proposal ties an immediate halt to fighting, full hostage releases within 72 hours upon mutual consent, and the disarmament of Hamas.
• Postwar administration would shift to a non-political committee of Palestinians and experts overseen by a U.S.-led Peace Council chaired by Trump with Tony Blair as a member, excluding Hamas.
• Hamas officials told the BBC they would not accept disarmament and described any international security presence in Gaza as a new form of occupation.
• Press secretary Levitt said President Trump and envoy Stephen Wittkoff are engaged in sensitive talks likely via Qatar, with Hamas expected to answer within days.
