- The White House is pushing for early announcements of a Palestinian technocratic authority and an International Stabilization Force, possibly in January, though officials say progress remains uncertain.
- Senior U.S. officials have been reported as frustrated by Israeli delays vetting Gaza governance nominees and by ongoing Israeli strikes that complicate Phase 2 preparations.
