Netanyahu says Israel working on ceasefire plan on eve of Trump meeting
Manila Bulletin
|September 30, 2025
On the eve of his meeting with U.S. President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel is working on a new ceasefire plan with the White House, but details are still being sorted out.
-
Netanyahu has come under heavy international pressure to end the war, especially during the ongoing offensive in Gaza City. The death toll in the Israel-Hamas war has topped 66,000 Palestinians, Gaza's Health Ministry said Sunday.
In Monday's White House meeting, Trump is expected to share a new proposal for ending the conflict.
"We're working on it," Netanyahu told Fox News Sunday's "The Sunday Briefing." "It's not been finalized yet, but we're working with President Trump's team, actually as we speak, and I hope we can — we can make it a go."
Arab officials briefed on the plan say the 21-point proposal calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages held by Hamas within 48 hours and a gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the proposal has not been formally announced.
