President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said they had agreed to a 20-point plan designed to end the war in Gaza, though the prospects for peace remained unclear without the direct involvement of Hamas.

Trump said the framework had the support of other leaders from the Middle East and Muslim majority nations during a press conference Monday alongside Netanyahu, suggesting it could lay the ground for a broader peace in the region.

Still, the proposal — which mandates Hamas have no role in the future of Gaza — must be accepted by the militant group, which would need to agree to substantial concessions. Hamas, which sparked the war with an Oct. 7, 2023, attack on Israel said ahead of the Trump-Netanyahu meeting that it had not yet seen the plan and would need to study the proposal.
Trump warned that “if Hamas rejects the deal” then Netanyahu would “have our full backing” to destroy the militant group.
