Overview

• U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff said Qatar and Egypt relayed that Hamas would study the proposal in good faith and provide a response, describing the feedback as an encouraging first signal rather than a formal acceptance.
• The framework ties an immediate, verifiable ceasefire and a 72-hour timetable to return all hostages after Israel’s public acceptance to a phased Israeli pullback with front lines frozen during implementation.
• Key security elements include Hamas relinquishing heavy weapons while retaining light arms, with public security functions shifting to Arab or international forces under defined oversight mechanisms.
• Civil administration would pass to a transitional, non‑political Palestinian technocratic committee overseen by an international Peace Council chaired by President Trump, with options for amnesty for disarming Hamas members and safe passage for others.
• The plan promises a major humanitarian surge via the UN and Red Crescent and a Trump-led reconstruction drive including a special economic zone, as Israeli hard-right partners set red lines, Hamas publicly rejects Tony Blair’s role and denies receiving formal proposals, and Sky News Arabia reports Qatar told Washington it could press Hamas to accept.
