Overview

• The White House unveiled a roughly 20-point framework to halt fighting and outline Gaza’s post-conflict governance and security.
• Israel’s prime minister publicly backed the proposal, and President Trump gave Hamas three to four days to respond, warning of consequences if it refuses.
• Senior Hamas officials told the BBC the plan favors Israel, rejecting disarmament and opposing international security forces they describe as a new form of occupation.
• Mediator countries have met Hamas leaders to press for agreement, and the White House described ongoing talks as “very delicate.”
• The framework stipulates that all hostages would be released within 72 hours if both sides agree, with reports noting fears of renewed Israeli military action if negotiations fail.
