US President Donald Trump will push a new peace plan to end the Israel-Gaza war during White House talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday.
Trump has talked up prospects of reaching an agreement, telling journalists on Friday: I think we have a deal.
But Netanyahu said on Sunday it's not been finalised yet, while Hamas said they had not formally been sent the proposal.
According to leaked copies of the plan published by US and Israeli media, it stipulates the release of all hostages within 48 hours of the deal being confirmed. Once they are returned, Israel will free hundreds of Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences.
Hamas members who commit to peace will be offered amnesty and safe passage out of Gaza - and the group will have no future role in the territory. All Hamas military structures will be destroyed.
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) will gradually withdraw from the Strip and Gaza will be governed by an interim transitional government.
The plan appears to constitute a significant shift of position by the Trump administration, which has previously advocated relocating Gaza's entire population of 2.1m and redeveloping Gaza into a US-owned riviera.
The latest proposal encourages Palestinians to remain in Gaza. It also acknowledges Palestinian aspirations for a future state, and includes a future role in the territory for the Palestinian Authority (PA) once it has undertaken reforms.
These are previous red-lines for Netanyahu. Last week, he reiterated to the UN General Assembly he would not allow a Palestinian state and labelled the PA corrupt to its core.
Even if the Israeli PM is persuaded by Trump, he may struggle to convince the more hardline elements of his governing coalition to accept it...
As hostilities escalate and public pressure mounts, both leaders are challenged on whether the new plan is feasible.
