- After returning from Israel and Egypt, Trump advanced a 20-point peace plan calling for Hamas to disarm and bar it from Gaza governance, though Hamas agreed to parts before the deal took effect.
- The remains of four hostages were released Oct. 13, and around 2,000 Palestinians were freed by Israel, with about 1,700 taken from Gaza since October 7 attacks.
- Under the plan Israel has agreed `Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza`, while envisioning a phased withdrawal leaving around 55% under IDF control, then around 40%, with a 15% security perimeter.
- Amid unclear timelines, Trump remained vague on a deadline, saying only `a reasonable amount of time`; minutes later the IDF said the Red Cross was en route while Hamas cited difficulties locating bodies.
