Overview

• President Donald Trump signaled fresh momentum and meets Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday after saying a Gaza deal is within reach.
• Hamas issued a formal statement saying it has received no new U.S. proposal, while its armed wing reported losing contact with two hostages and requested a 24-hour pause in fighting.
• Netanyahu said he is working with Trump’s team on the plan but that it is not finalized, and Israeli officials indicated he will seek changes.
• Reporting describes key elements as a permanent cease-fire, phased hostage-prisoner exchanges, gradual Israeli withdrawal, and Gaza governance without Hamas under a multinational transitional authority, with Tony Blair mentioned as a possible lead; these details remain unconfirmed by all parties.
• Far-right members of Netanyahu’s coalition threaten to bolt over terms they oppose, negotiations remain fragile as fighting continues in Gaza, and families of hostages press for an agreement.
