The United States has put forth a new proposal aimed at ending the Gaza war, which encourages Palestinians to remain in the Strip and outlines a pathway to a future Palestinian state, according to a Times of Israel report published on September 27th, 2025, at approximately 5:30 AM UTC. This proposal marks a significant shift in the Trump administration's stance on the conflict. This development comes as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to "finish the job" in Gaza on September 27th, 2025, between 1:00 AM and 1:15 AM UTC, following a walkout by delegates at the United Nations, Reuters reported. International pressure has been mounting over the prolonged conflict. Earlier reports from the previous reporting window indicated that Israeli forces had advanced in Gaza City, reportedly taking control of the Tal Al-Hawa neighborhood and moving towards Al-Remal and Al-Shati neighborhoods. Bombardment of the Al-Shati refugee camp also continued during that period, according to previous reports. The new US proposal represents a 'major evolution' in the administration's approach to the Gaza war, the Times of Israel stated. Details regarding the specific terms of the pathway to a Palestinian state and the mechanisms for encouragement of Palestinians to remain in the Strip were not immediately available in the reporting window. This diplomatic push occurs amidst ongoing efforts to de-escalate the conflict, including potential meetings between Israeli leadership and UAE officials. Former President Donald Trump's previously reported 21-point plan for a Gaza ceasefire included ending Hamas rule and prisoner exchanges, alongside proposals for Gaza's governance by a Palestinian committee.
