Overview

• President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu presented a 20-point proposal at the White House, with Israel publicly backing the plan.
• The blueprint calls for fighting to halt upon mutual consent, the release of all Israeli hostages within 72 hours of Israel’s assent, and an Israeli prisoner release of about 2,000 detainees including roughly 250 serving life terms and 1,700 held since October 7.
• The plan mandates Hamas’ exclusion from governance, a demilitarization process, a technocratic Palestinian committee to run Gaza, and oversight by an international Board of Peace featuring Trump and Tony Blair.
• A U.S.-supported international stabilization force would help secure Gaza and train local policing as Israeli forces withdraw in phases tied to verified disarmament.
• Hamas did not join the talks but received the proposal via Qatar and Egypt and said it will review it in good faith, while Trump and Netanyahu warned of renewed military action if the plan is rejected; key Arab states, the UN, and European leaders signaled support.
