Overview
- At Mar-a-Lago, President Trump pressed for the plan’s next stage, which calls for further Israeli withdrawals, a transitional authority, an international force, Hamas disarmament, and reconstruction.
- Hamas’s armed wing declared it will not renounce weapons while it considers Gaza under occupation, directly challenging a central requirement of the plan.
- No country has publicly committed troops to the proposed stabilization force and analysts report the Peace Board and executive leadership envisioned to run phase two have not been constituted.
- Israeli forces retain control over more than half of Gaza as the so‑called Yellow Line expands, and Rafah has been operated for departures only, contrary to elements of the plan’s framework.
- Reporting cites a severe humanitarian emergency with widespread displacement and very high fatalities in the broader conflict, and local sources count hundreds more deaths since the October ceasefire took effect.
