Trump Unveils 21-Point Gaza Proposal at UNGA

President Donald Trump unveiled a reported 21-point plan at the U.N. General Assembly that he says would secure a lasting ceasefire, return hostages, map a phased Israeli withdrawal, remove Hamas from governance and create a new security arrangement funded by regional states. Trump is due to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to seek a framework for the proposal, and U.S. officials have floated postwar overseers for Gaza. Hamas has publicly denied receiving any new ceasefire proposals and says negotiations have been suspended since an alleged Sept. 9 assassination attempt in Doha, while some Israeli media reported conflicting accounts of tentative hostage-release agreements. Heavy fighting, mounting civilian casualties and disruptions to medical and aid operations continue across Gaza, intensifying doubts about the timetable and whether Netanyahu’s hard-right government will accept terms that stop the offensive before Hamas is dismantled. Officials say any deal’s success will depend on formal acceptances by both Hamas and Israel and on the willingness of Israel’s leadership and regional partners to implement and fund the proposed security arrangements.
