U.S. Unveils Gaza Cease-Fire Plan as Netanyahu Backs Deal

With Israel on board, the proposal now hinges on Hamas’s formal response plus coordination with mediators.

Overview

  • The 20–21 point plan ties an immediate halt to fighting to the return of all hostages within 48–72 hours, followed by a phased Israeli withdrawal.
  • Israel would release 250 prisoners serving life terms and 1,700 Gaza detainees as part of the exchange, with all military operations paused during the handover.
  • The proposal installs a temporary technocratic Palestinian committee under a new international “Council of Peace” led by President Trump, with Tony Blair among named participants, and excludes Hamas from governance.
  • Washington says Gaza would be demilitarized, Israel would not occupy or annex the enclave, humanitarian aid would surge through the UN and partners, and a stabilization force with regional backing would deploy.
  • Trump warned that U.S. support for Israeli military action will continue if Hamas rejects the offer, as officials note the group has not yet formally received the finalized text through Egypt and Qatar.
