White House Unveils 20-Point Gaza Plan With Conditional Backing From Netanyahu

Hamas has received the proposal via Qatari and Egyptian mediators but has not issued a formal response.

Overview

  • The U.S. plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages within about 72 hours of agreement, and phased Israeli troop withdrawals tied to security steps.
  • Governance would shift to a temporary technocratic administration overseen by a Trump‑chaired Committee of the Peace with a key role for Tony Blair, alongside a rapid deployment of an International Stabilization Force to secure and train approved Palestinian police.
  • Hamas is required to disarm and dismantle tunnels and heavy weapons, with amnesty for members who lay down arms and an option for others to leave Gaza, while the plan states no resident will be forced to relocate.
  • Exchange terms include the release of 250 Palestinians serving life sentences and about 1,700 Gaza detainees after October 7 in return for hostages, and humanitarian access would expand under UN and Red Crescent oversight.
  • Netanyahu endorsed the framework with warnings that Israel will “finish the job” if Hamas rejects or violates it, reiterated plans to retain a security perimeter for a time, and said he has not accepted the principle of a Palestinian state as questions remain over verification and withdrawal timelines.
