Overview

• Washington’s plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, a phased Israeli withdrawal, and the return of all hostages within 72 hours of Israel’s public acceptance, with Israel to free 250 prisoners serving life terms and 1,700 Gaza detainees.
• The framework mandates Gaza’s demilitarization and excludes Hamas from governance, installing a technocratic Palestinian committee overseen by a US-led peace committee chaired by President Trump, with Tony Blair set for a leading role and an international stabilization force deployed.
• Benjamin Netanyahu said the plan meets Israel’s war aims and that Israel would retain security responsibility for a period, warning that Israel will “finish the job” if Hamas rejects or obstructs the deal.
• The White House emphasized that no resident would be forced to leave Gaza, and humanitarian access and reconstruction would follow under UN and partner oversight.
• Hamas officials said they have not yet received the proposal through mediators and have not issued a formal reply, as separate diplomacy included Netanyahu’s apology to Qatar for a recent strike and a pledge not to repeat it.
