President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced a new 20-point peace proposal for Gaza during a joint press conference at the White House on Monday, with Trump unveiling a plan to end the war, secure the release of hostages, and establish a transitional Palestinian administration under a new "Board of Peace" chaired by Trump himself.

Netanyahu endorsed the plan, which calls for Hamas disarmament, a ceasefire, and a temporary Palestinian technocratic committee to govern Gaza, while also confirming Israel’s retention of a security perimeter and its opposition to both Hamas and the Palestinian Authority governing the territory.

As part of the announcement, Trump stated that Israel would have "full backing" to continue military action if Hamas rejects the deal, and he emphasized that the plan was shaped through consultations with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Indonesia, Turkey, and Pakistan.

The White House 20-point framework calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all Israeli hostages within 72 hours, and a phased Israeli troop withdrawal to agreed lines. In return, Israel would release 250 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and 1,700 Gazans detained since October 7, 2023.

The plan proposes that Hamas fighters who disarm would be granted amnesty, while those wishing to leave Gaza would be given safe passage. Gaza would be governed by a temporary, technocratic Palestinian committee, overseen by the newly created "Board of Peace." This Board will be chaired by President Trump and include other notable figures, with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair mentioned as a potential member.

The plan also includes provisions for large-scale humanitarian aid, UN and Red Crescent supervision of aid distribution, and the eventual institution of a Palestinian state following the establishment of a demilitarized Gaza and the reform of the Palestinian Authority.

At the press conference, Trump hailed the agreement as "potentially one of the great days ever in civilization" and a "historic day for peace," stating that the plan achieves Israel's war aims. He challenged Palestinians to "take responsibility for their destiny" and condemned terrorism, framing the plan as a chance for self-determination.

Trump expressed optimism that Hamas wants to accept the deal, stating he was "hearing that Hamas wants to get this done too," but warned that rejection would lead to Israel receiving "full backing" to "finish the job."

Netanyahu confirmed his support, stating the plan "achieves our war aims" and that Gaza would have a peaceful, civilian administration run neither by Hamas nor the Palestinian Authority, with Hamas being "disarmed" and Gaza "demilitarized."

In a separate development, the White House confirmed that Netanyahu had expressed "deep regret" to Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani for the Israeli air strike on Hamas leadership in Doha on September 9, 2025. This apology, reportedly made in a phone call, is seen as crucial to facilitating Qatar's role as a key intermediary in negotiations with Hamas.

"Israel apologizes for its attack on Qatar during a call between the US President, the Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, and the Israeli Prime Minister," Qatar's Foreign Ministry wrote on X.

Qatari and Egyptian officials have reportedly delivered the White House's 20-point peace proposal to Hamas officials in Doha, though Hamas had not yet formally responded. The US, Israel, and Qatar are expected to launch a "trilateral mechanism" to begin dialogue on the plan.

The plan represents a significant shift from previous US policy, particularly in its explicit pathway to a future Palestinian state, which is contingent upon the successful implementation of the transitional governance and the reform of the Palestinian Authority.

The creation of the "Board of Peace" chaired by Trump is a central and novel feature of the proposal, aiming to oversee the redevelopment and governance of Gaza until a stable Palestinian administration can take over. The plan also includes the return of the remains of deceased hostages and the remains of 15 Gazans for each Israeli captive’s remains. The families of the Israeli hostages have expressed profound gratitude to Trump for his commitment to securing their release.

“The Foreign Ministers of the State of Qatar, the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, the Republic of Indonesia, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the Republic of Turkey, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the Arab Republic of Egypt welcome President Donald J Trump's leadership and his sincere efforts to end the war in Gaza, and assert their confidence in his ability to find a path to peace," the group wrote in a joint statement.

"They emphasize the importance of the partnership with the United States in securing peace in the region. Along these lines, the ministers welcome the announcement by President Trump regarding his proposal to end the war, rebuild Gaza, prevent the displacement of the Palestinian people and advance a comprehensive peace, as well as his announcement that he will not allow the annexation of the West Bank."

Here is the U.S.' 20-point peace proposal:

1. Gaza will be a deradicalized terror-free zone that does not pose a threat to its neighbors.

2. Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of the people of Gaza, who have suffered more than enough.

3. If both sides agree to this proposal, the war will immediately end. Israeli forces will withdraw to the agreed upon line to prepare for a hostage release. During this time, all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment, will be suspended, and battle lines will remain frozen until conditions are met for the complete staged withdrawal.

4. Within 72 hours of Israel publicly accepting this agreement, all hostages, alive and deceased, will be returned.

5. Once all hostages are released, Israel will release 250 life sentence prisoners plus 1700 Gazans who were detained after October 7th 2023, including all women and children detained in that context. For every Israeli hostage whose remains are released, Israel will release the remains of 15 deceased Gazans.

6. Once all hostages are returned, Hamas members who commit to peaceful co-existence and to decommission their weapons will be given amnesty. Members of Hamas who wish to leave Gaza will be provided safe passage to receiving countries.

7. Upon acceptance of this agreement, full aid will be immediately sent into the Gaza Strip. At a minimum, aid quantities will be consistent with what was included in the January 19, 2025, agreement regarding humanitarian aid, including rehabilitation of infrastructure (water, electricity, sewage), rehabilitation of hospitals and bakeries, and entry of necessary equipment to remove rubble and open roads.

8. Entry of distribution and aid in the Gaza Strip will proceed without interference from the two parties through the United Nations and its agencies, and the Red Crescent, in addition to other international institutions not associated in any manner with either party. Opening the Rafah crossing in both directions will be subject to the same mechanism implemented under the January 19, 2025 agreement.

9. Gaza will be governed under the temporary transitional governance of a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee, responsible for delivering the day-to-day running of public services and municipalities for the people in Gaza. This committee will be made up of qualified Palestinians and international experts, with oversight and supervision by a new international transitional body, the “Board of Peace,” which will be headed and chaired by President Donald J. Trump, with other members and heads of State to be announced, including Former Prime Minister Tony Blair. This body will set the framework and handle the funding for the redevelopment of Gaza until such time as the Palestinian Authority has completed its reform program, as outlined in various proposals, including President Trump’s peace plan in 2020 and the Saudi-French proposal, and can securely and effectively take back control of Gaza. This body will call on best international standards to create modern and efficient governance that serves the people of Gaza and is conducive to attracting investment.

10. A Trump economic development plan to rebuild and energize Gaza will be created by convening a panel of experts who have helped birth some of the thriving modern miracle cities in the Middle East. Many thoughtful investment proposals and exciting development ideas have been crafted by well-meaning international groups, and will be considered to synthesize the security and governance frameworks to attract and facilitate these investments that will create jobs, opportunity, and hope for future Gaza.

11. A special economic zone will be established with preferred tariff and access rates to be negotiated with participating countries.

12. No one will be forced to leave Gaza, and those who wish to leave will be free to do so and free to return. We will encourage people to stay and offer them the opportunity to build a better Gaza.

13. Hamas and other factions agree to not have any role in the governance of Gaza, directly, indirectly, or in any form. All military, terror, and offensive infrastructure, including tunnels and weapon production facilities, will be destroyed and not rebuilt. There will be a process of demilitarization of Gaza under the supervision of independent monitors, which will include placing weapons permanently beyond use through an agreed process of decommissioning, and supported by an internationally funded buy back and reintegration program all verified by the independent monitors. New Gaza will be fully committed to building a prosperous economy and to peaceful coexistence with their neighbors.

14. A guarantee will be provided by regional partners to ensure that Hamas, and the factions, comply with their obligations and that New Gaza poses no threat to its neighbors or its people.

15. The United States will work with Arab and international partners to develop a temporary International Stabilization Force (ISF) to immediately deploy in Gaza. The ISF will train and provide support to vetted Palestinian police forces in Gaza, and will consult with Jordan and Egypt who have extensive experience in this field. This force will be the long-term internal security solution. The ISF will work with Israel and Egypt to help secure border areas, along with newly trained Palestinian police forces. It is critical to prevent munitions from entering Gaza and to facilitate the rapid and secure flow of goods to rebuild and revitalize Gaza. A deconfliction mechanism will be agreed upon by the parties.

16. Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza. As the ISF establishes control and stability, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) will withdraw based on standards, milestones, and timeframes linked to demilitarization that will be agreed upon between the IDF, ISF, the guarantors, and the Unites States, with the objective of a secure Gaza that no longer poses a threat to Israel, Egypt, or its citizens. Practically, the IDF will progressively hand over the Gaza territory it occupies to the ISF according to an agreement they will make with the transitional authority until they are withdrawn completely from Gaza, save for a security perimeter presence that will remain until Gaza is properly secure from any resurgent terror threat.

17. In the event Hamas delays or rejects this proposal, the above, including the scaled-up aid operation, will proceed in the terror-free areas handed over from the IDF to the ISF.

18. An interfaith dialogue process will be established based on the values of tolerance and peaceful co-existence to try and change mindsets and narratives of Palestinians and Israelis by emphasizing the benefits that can be derived from peace.

19. While Gaza re-development advances and when the PA reform program is faithfully carried out, the conditions may finally be in place for a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which we recognize as the aspiration of the Palestinian people.

20. The United States will establish a dialogue between Israel and the Palestinians to agree on a political horizon for peaceful and prosperous co-existence.

Iran Issues Sweeping Demands Before It Opens Strait Of Hormuz: US Must 'Correct Its Behavior'

Iran’s Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), led by Secretary Mohammad Bagher Zolghadr, on Saturday, issued a sweeping list of demands declaring that the Strait of Hormuz will not reopen until the United States "corrects its behavior."

These demands, published by Iranian state media, include permanently ending threats and hostilities against Iran and its regional allies, withdrawing all U.S. military forces from the region, lifting the naval blockade and sanctions, paying full war reparations, and unconditionally releasing frozen Iranian assets.

Iran effectively closed the Strait in retaliation for attacks by the U.S. and Israel, halting critical maritime trade and causing global energy prices to spike, with U.S. gas prices averaging $4.02. A temporary ceasefire memorandum signed in June collapsed over U.S. military interference. Tehran claims that after shipping restored to roughly 60% of pre-war capacity, the U.S. sought to establish unauthorized alternative routes and challenge Iranian management of the channel.

Iranian military continue to 'violating' vessels—including a Saturday Iranian missile strike on an Emirati-flagged tanker—underscoring the volatile environment surrounding the Strait of Hormuz through which roughly 20% of the world’s petroleum and natural gas normally flows.

SNSC's stated conditions include,

A permanent cessation of U.S. threats and military actions directed at Iran probably directed at President Donald Trump who regularly threatens the Iranian government in apocalyptic terms.
An immediate end to strikes and offensive military operations targeting Iran's allies across Lebanon, Palestine, Yemen, and Iraq.
Complete termination of the U.S. naval blockade restricting Iranian ports.
Full pullout of U.S. naval and air forces deployed in the immediate vicinity of Iran.
Financial compensation paid by Washington for damages inflicted during the war.
Complete lifting of economic sanctions and the immediate release of frozen Iranian assets abroad.

"Until America corrects its behavior, the Strait of Hormuz will not open," Zolghadr declared, emphasizing that Tehran views control over the waterway not merely as an economic mechanism, but as a core pillar of its geographic and strategic power.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Saturday, that negotiations with Oman are in the "final stages" and close to an agreement on managing shipping traffic, specifically regarding the determination of new transit routes.

Araghchi noted that the historical Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) in the strait is no longer acceptable to Tehran. Iranian and Omani naval delegations have drafted maps for a temporary route along Oman's coast to serve as a bridge toward a permanent framework.

However, Araghchi cautioned that this bilateral deal alone is insufficient; the full reopening of the waterway remains contingent on the U.S. meeting Tehran’s conditions, which he attributed to Washington's alleged violation of the interim ceasefire memorandum signed in June.

Oman described talks as "positive and constructive" but warned that ongoing attacks on commercial vessels, such as the recent missile strike on UAE-owned ship, could derail progress.

The Trump administration has insisted on the complete, unhindered reopening of the Strait and rejected Iran’s attempts to charge transit fees or exercise unilateral control, viewing the Iranian demands as unlikely to be agreed upon.

While U.S. officials expressed optimism over a potential 30- to 60-day maritime truce, they warned that sanctions relief and unfreezing assets remain strictly tied to a broader peace agreement and nuclear compliance.

Zolghadr’s public hardline stance Saturday, follows unconfirmed reports of internal debates within Tehran. Reformist President Masoud Pezeshkian had supported the Omani diplomatic track to resolve the crisis and end economic isolation. However, hardline factions led by Zolghadr and Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commanders insist that the strait remain closed as leverage against U.S. pressure.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance told Fox News on Saturday: "We're talking to the Iranians, of course. We're trying to maximize the amount of oil and gas that is coming out of the Strait of Hormuz. We're just trying to make sure that we get what we need out of this particular conflict.

"We've destroyed their nuclear program, we've destroyed their conventional military, we've radically reduced their asymmetric military abilities, and right now, we're trying to see if they're willing to make the kind of long-term changes that would be necessary to have a better relationship with the United States—and if not, that's fine too. We're just going to keep on applying the pressure that we can apply and getting as much oil and gas out of the Middle East so that Americans can enjoy lower gas and energy prices."

Top US General Urges Trump To Seek Off-ramp From Iran War, Warns Escalation Risks Backfiring

General Dan Caine, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is reportedly privately seeking an "off-ramp" from the war with Iran, arguing that U.S. airpower alone cannot achieve President Donald Trump's objectives and that further escalation risks backfiring due to depleted munitions stockpiles, and the high probability of Iranian retaliation against U.S. forces and regional allies.

Caine reportedly coordinated with Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe to present a unified view to Trump in a recent meeting, that the military conflict has reached a crossroads, prompting the administration to focus on a diplomatic solution that offers the president a "symbolic" win.

In a statement to CNN, a spokesperson for Caine said, “General Caine is an incredible asset to President Trump’s national security team, and the overwhelming success of Operations Epic Fury, Midnight Hammer, and Absolute Resolve speaks for itself.”

Caine and other administration officials were skeptical of a series of U.S. strikes on Iran late last month, where the U.S. bombed the country for at least 12 straight days.

“The only ones in favor of the operation were elements of CENTCOM,” a U.S. official reportedly said, noting that Israel also supported the effort to escalate hostilities. Eventually, the U.S. eased up on the strikes after Middle East allies told Trump the bombings were endangering the region.

In meetings with the president, Caine has made clear the potential downsides of continued U.S. actions in Iran, but he also reassured Trump that “we could absolutely wreck” the Iranians if he would like to proceed.

This push for disengagement comes as Iran and Oman finalize a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic waterway Iran has restricted since the war began in February 2026. The Trump administration aims to transition from a military stalemate to a diplomatic breakthrough, using the reopening of the Strait as a tangible victory to justify ending the conflict to the American public.

The proposed Iran-Oman agreement establishes temporary inbound and outbound shipping lanes and sets a 60-day period for further negotiations, with the U.S. pledging to lift its blockade on Iranian ports once the deal is implemented. Under the plan, commercial vessels would enter the Persian Gulf via an Iranian-controlled route and exit through an Omani-controlled route.

The negotiations have resulted in broad agreement on a new transit framework, which Trump said on Friday,, could be announced "soon" as a pathway to ending hostilities.

The conflict, launched via Operation Epic Fury in February 28, has dragged on for nearly six months with no clear military resolution; ground invasion is rejected by Trump, while airstrikes have failed to force a favorable deal.

Spacewalk 96: Astronauts Prep ISS Power Infrastructure For Solar Array Upgrade

Anil Menon and Jessica Meir completed a 6 hours 27 minutes U.S. Spacewalk 96 or extravehicular activity (EVA) on Thursday (Aug. 6). The NASA astronauts exited the International Space Station (ISS)’s Quest airlock to modify the 3B power channel on the Starboard 6 truss, preparing the station for the installation of a seventh ISS Roll-Out Solar Array (IROSA) later in the year.

Since 2021, astronauts on prior spacewalks have deployed six of the iROSA assemblies, leaving now just two awaiting delivery to the station later this year. The ISS relies on eight individual power channels fed by primary solar array wings deployed between 2000 and 2009. Over decades in low Earth orbit, radiation and thermal cycling gradually reduced the efficiency of these original arrays.

Thursday's spacewalk began at 1233 UTC when the astronauts switched their spacesuits to internal battery power. A veteran astronaut, Meir served as EV-1 and wore a spacesuit with red stripes; this is her sixth spacewalk since her first ISS mission between 2019 and 2020. Menon, a U.S. Space Force colonel and physician, is on his first mission to space and wore an unmarked spacesuit as EV-2.

Meir and Menon assembled the modification kit for one of the space station's eight power channels, which will allow for the future addition of a new iROSA. They worked to assemble and bolt together the triangular brackets on the 3B power channel, located on the far right, or starboard (S6) segment of the station's backbone truss.

Menon was positioned on an articulating portable foot restraint (APFR) atop a worksite interface (WIFEX), providing a stable angle to work from the truss.

Once the modification kit structure was built and secured to the 3B mast canister, the two spacewalkers routed cabling that will carry the electricity from the future iROSA into the 3B power channel and then covered the struts with multi-layer insulation to protect them from micrometeoroid strikes.

The iROSA wings sit forward of the legacy solar arrays, augmenting their electricity generation rather than replacing it. The station's eight original arrays began showing degraded power output as they exceeded their 15-year design life. When used in tandem with the new iROSA wings, the upgraded system will increase the station's electricity supply by 20% to 30%.

The other power channel currently without an iROSA deployed is 2A on the left, or port side, of the station.

"Anil, you can see the moon to the — well, I am not sure what way you're facing, but…," said Meir, taking a short break during the spacewalk to notice NASA's next destination for astronauts under its Artemis program.

"To my right. Yeah, I see it — thanks for the heads-up," said Menon. "I can see a future moon base there."

"I can see it, too!" Meir said.

Meir later turned her attention to Mars with her closing words of the day.

"On this day in 2012, NASA's robotic rover Curiosity successfully landed on the surface of Mars with the goal of understanding if the planet could have fostered life. Curiosity achieved that goal within a year," she said. "One day, humans will visit Curiosity, propelled by the groundbreaking science, technology demonstrations and operations conducted here on the International Space Station for almost 26 years now."

"Today, we made one more step toward expanding the ISS power system, further sustaining our human presence in low Earth orbit, as we prepare to take those next steps," said Meir.

Meir and Menon upgraded the ISS power infrastructure to support critical operations, including life support and scientific experiments, as the station ages. This upgrade is critical for sustaining the station’s power margin through its planned controlled deorbit in late 2030, requiring additional energy for attitude control and avionics during reentry.

After collecting their tools and reentering the Quest airlock, the spacewalk concluded at 1900 UTC.

This was the first spacewalk for the space station's Expedition 75 crew; the 96th U.S. EVA and 281st spacewalk overall in support of the space station's assembly, maintenance and enhancement.

There are two more U.S. spacewalks scheduled for this month: EVA 97 will work to replace a space-to-ground antenna on Aug. 13, and EVA 98 will connect power channel cables and data relay systems as part of ongoing maintenance, including preparations for the station's future deorbit, as well as replace a navigational aid used for spacecraft docking on Aug. 25.
