“Today we announce on behalf of President Trump the beginning of the second phase of the plan, which includes 20 points aimed at ending the conflict in Gaza. We are moving from a ceasefire to demilitarization, the establishment of technocratic governance, and the reconstruction of the region,” he noted in his post on social media platform X.
According to the American official, the second phase includes the establishment of a transitional administration, as well as the initiation of the demilitarization process and the reconstruction of the enclave's territory. The U.S. expects the Palestinian organization Hamas to fulfill all its commitments, including the return of the body of the last deceased hostage.
It should be reminded that in September 2025, Israel and Hamas reached agreements on the first phase of the peace plan, which involved the release of all hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli troops to an agreed line.
In turn, the White House published a plan for resolving the situation in Gaza, consisting of 20 points, which proposes the introduction of temporary external governance with international participation. Indirect negotiations for the implementation of the first phase of this plan took place in Egypt in a positive atmosphere.
The second phase includes the withdrawal of a significant part of the Israeli contingent from the Gaza Strip, the introduction of international stabilization forces, and the creation of a new administrative structure, which, according to the U.S. proposal, will be headed by a Council of Peace consisting of approximately 10 leaders from Arab and Western countries.
