Overview

  • Kushner arrived Sunday for consultations on implementing the U.S. 20-point plan and is expected to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday, according to a source familiar with the plans.
  • The Trump plan began with an October 10 ceasefire; since then Hamas has released 20 living hostages and the remains of 24 others, with four deceased hostages’ remains still held in Gaza.
  • The next phase envisions a multinational force gradually assuming security responsibilities inside Gaza from the Israeli military.
  • An Israeli government spokesperson said there would be no Turkish troops in Gaza, while U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said Turkey would participate, underscoring a key dispute over the force’s composition.
  • Significant details remain unclear, including the participants in the International Stabilisation Force and the membership of a proposed Trump-led ‘Board of Peace,’ as humanitarian needs and reported truce violations continue to complicate implementation.
