Overview

• President Trump published a 20-point plan that ties an immediate halt to fighting to the release of all hostages within 72 hours of Israel’s public consent, coupled with a large Israeli prisoner release and a phased IDF pullback.
• Israel endorsed the plan and the Palestinian Authority pledged to implement required reforms, while Hamas received the document via Qatari and Egyptian mediators and says it is reviewing it.
• The blueprint excludes Hamas from Gaza’s future governance, offers amnesty and third‑country relocation for militants who disarm, and installs a technocratic Palestinian committee overseen by an international Board of Peace led by Trump with Tony Blair involved.
• Arab and Western governments, the UN and EU figures voiced support or readiness to assist, with statements from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, France, the UK and Germany backing efforts to finalize and implement the deal.
• Key uncertainties remain over enforceable demilitarization, the exact withdrawal lines for Israeli forces, and the composition and role of a proposed stabilization force, as Israel warns it will continue its campaign if Hamas rejects the terms.
