Overview
- Axios reports that the White House plans to announce Phase Two before Christmas, and a U.S. official says related announcements are coming soon.
- The proposed structure centers on a Trump‑chaired Board of Peace, an International Executive Board that includes Tony Blair, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff, and a 12–15 member Palestinian technocratic cabinet.
- The UN Security Council has authorized the International Stabilization Force and the transitional board, with potential ISF contributors named as Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Egypt and Turkey, though no formal troop pledges are confirmed.
- U.S., Qatari, Egyptian and Turkish interlocutors are pressing Hamas on phased disarmament, and Al Arabiya, cited by TASS, reports unconfirmed claims of initial agreement to seize heavy weapons and a readiness to cede control.
- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to visit Washington this month after Trump urged him to be a “better partner,” as Hamas and Islamic Jihad publicly reject the UN resolution and major implementation details remain unresolved.
