Amid U.S. pressure, Qatar has stepped back from mediating hostage negotiations. Meanwhile, Israel has put forward a final proposal that includes:
1. A short-term ceasefire to secure the release of both living and deceased hostages.
2. A longer ceasefire aimed at negotiating an end to the war, conditioned on the disarmament of Gaza and the exile of Hamas leadership.
The offer comes with a deadline of approximately two weeks, roughly coinciding with Trump’s expected return from the Middle East.
