Overview

  • U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff announced the start of phase two focused on demilitarization, a technocratic interim administration, and reconstruction.
  • Mediators from Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar reported agreement on a 14/15-member technocratic committee led by Ali Schaath to manage basic services in Gaza.
  • Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and the Palestinian Authority signaled support for forming the committee, yet Hamas has not agreed to disarm.
  • Phase one remains incomplete, including the return of the last deceased hostage, with Washington warning of serious consequences if obligations are not met.
  • Major details are unsettled, including the international stabilization force’s makeup, oversight by a proposed Board of Peace, Israeli force withdrawals, and host-country permissions, even as Germany and Austria expand advisory, policing, and training roles via EU missions and the CMCC.
