The comprehensive proposal, which has been in development, aims to address both immediate and long-term challenges in the Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<p>President Trump detailed key components of the plan, stating that it envisions a phased withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and calls for the immediate release of all remaining hostages. He also highlighted a commitment from Arab and Muslim countries to demilitarize Gaza and dismantle the military capabilities of Hamas and other terror organizations. The plan further includes the establishment of an international body, dubbed the &quot;Board of Peace,&quot; which Trump indicated he would chair, alongside other leaders including former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. This board would oversee a new civilian administration for Gaza, comprising Palestinians and international experts. Trump expressed optimism that Hamas would accept the terms, but affirmed Israel would have his full backing to &quot;finish the job&quot; if the group rejects the deal.<\/p>\n<p>Prime Minister Netanyahu voiced his support for the plan, aligning it with Israel&#39;s core principles for ending the war. He reiterated Israel&#39;s resolve to prevent any repeat of the October 7 attacks and emphasized that Israel would &quot;finish the job itself&quot; if Hamas rejects the proposed terms. Netanyahu also stated that Gaza would ultimately have a peaceful civilian administration and stressed that the Palestinian Authority could not have a role in Gaza without undergoing a significant transformation. Earlier, Netanyahu had informed the Qatari Prime Minister that Israel was specifically targeting Hamas. A trilateral mechanism for security was also agreed upon during a discussion involving Trump, Netanyahu, and the Qatari Prime Minister.<\/p>\n<p>In financial news, Brent Crude futures settled at <strong>$67.97\/bbl<\/strong>, marking a decline of <strong>$2.16 or 3.08%<\/strong>. This drop comes amidst expectations of increased global supply, with OPEC+ reportedly planning another oil output hike in November.<\/p>\n<p>Separately, the deadline for team registration for the annual <strong>College Fed Challenge<\/strong> competition is set for tomorrow, <strong>September 30, at 5:00 p.m. ET<\/strong>.
