On September 29, 2025, US President Donald Trump released a 20-point roadmap that he said could bring “an immediate end" to the Gaza war if both Israel and Hamas agree. The plan was announced in Washington following Trump’s meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and shared with Arab leaders during last week’s UN General Assembly.
The proposal calls for hostilities to stop immediately once both sides accept the deal. Israeli forces would then withdraw to an agreed line inside Gaza, while all aerial and ground operations are frozen. Within 72 hours, all hostages held by Hamas, both living and deceased, are to be released in exchange for Palestinian prisoners and detainees.
Trump described the framework as the closest step yet toward ending a war that has devastated Gaza
