Overview
- After Sept. 29 White House talks, President Trump and Prime Minister Netanyahu said they agreed on a U.S.-drafted plan to end combat in Gaza and outline postwar governance, according to reports.
- The announcement followed a joint appearance reported by multiple outlets, but neither side released implementation details or a timeline.
- Trump confirmed he will attend a Sept. 30 Pentagon meeting at Marine Corps Base Quantico, calling it a chance to highlight military results and unity.
- Multiple U.S. media reported that hundreds of generals, including those posted overseas, were abruptly summoned, and that Defense Secretary Hegses is expected to speak on a “warrior spirit” theme and discuss the “War Department” label.
- On Sept. 27, Trump publicly instructed Hegses to deploy troops to Portland, Oregon; the method and legal basis remain uncertain, with reports describing confusion inside the military.
