U.S. and Israel Narrow Differences on Gaza Plan as Trump and Netanyahu Set White House Talks

Envoy negotiations produced revised language on disarmament and post‑war governance, yet Israel’s red lines and Hamas’s lack of formal engagement leave a final deal unsettled.

Overview

  • The 21‑point U.S. framework ties an immediate ceasefire and the release of all hostages within 48 hours to disarming Hamas, a multinational security force, a technocratic interim administration in Gaza, and donor‑backed reconstruction.
  • Axios and officials report Netanyahu and minister Ron Dermer accepted new wording proposed by U.S. envoys Steve Witkof and Jared Kushner, with a TrumpNetanyahu meeting and joint appearance scheduled later today.
  • Israeli sources cite unresolved objections, including demands for tougher, enforceable disarmament terms, opposition to a Palestinian Authority role in Gaza, and resistance to language implying a path to Palestinian statehood.
  • One reported clause is an Israeli commitment not to attack Qatar following the Doha strike that killed Hamas members and a Qatari security officer, with Qatar said to seek an apology before resuming mediation.
  • Jordan says Arab and Muslim leaders broadly align on the plan, the UAE reiterated support for a two‑state solution and condemned the Qatar strike, and Hamas says it has not been shown the proposal.
