Hamas shows willingness to release hostages and accept U.S.-backed ceasefire plan, UN says.
On October 3, 2025, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres expressed cautious optimism after Hamas indicated willingness to release Israeli hostages and engage with a U.S.-backed peace proposal, reportedly agreeing in principle to a ceasefire, hostage release, and transfer of Gaza’s administration to a technocratic body backed by Arab and Islamic nations.
Guterres urged all parties to seize the opportunity for peace, reiterating calls for an immediate ceasefire, unconditional hostage release, and unimpeded humanitarian access.
The proposal, linked to former President Donald Trump, includes a phased Israeli withdrawal, a demilitarized Gaza, and international oversight.
Qatar and Egypt are mediating.
French President Emmanuel Macron echoed support, stressing urgency.
UN officials warn that ongoing Israeli military operations in northern Gaza continue to worsen the humanitarian crisis, with 170,000 metric tons of aid ready but blocked by access issues.
No formal agreement has been confirmed.
