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.
