Trump Circulates 21‑Point Gaza Plan to Netanyahu

President Donald Trump has circulated a reported U.S.-backed 21-point plan to end the Gaza war and is pressing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at a White House meeting to accept the framework. Reported elements include the release of all hostages within 48 hours, a phased Israeli troop withdrawal, disarmament of Hamas with exclusion from governance, a transitional Arab- or internationally supervised administration, prisoner exchanges, deradicalization programs, and funding for Gaza’s reconstruction. Israel has intensified a ground offensive in Gaza City, displacing large numbers of civilians and continuing strikes even as Israeli officials decline to confirm plan details and Hamas says it has not received the proposal. Former Israeli deputy prime minister Haim Ramon publicly urged Netanyahu to accept the plan to secure global legitimacy, but Israeli leaders remain divided and some officials have dismissed parts of the framework as trial balloons. The U.S. is pushing for optimism that regional actors are on board, but key details, timelines and implementation mechanisms remain unclear.
