Trump's Peace Plan

One essential element remains conspicuously absent from the new peace plan: a credible, empowered Palestinian representative capable of engaging Israel directly.

There are over 60 million tons of rubble in Gaza, the UN official claimed, enough to nearly fill 3,000 container ships, and enough for everyone in Gaza to be surrounded by 30 tons of it on average.

If Israel is to move from war to recovery and from pain to reconstruction, Rani must be returned.

“As I have said before, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The people of Gaza have suffered long enough. The time is NOW,” Trump wrote.

There are a few answers to the major existential questions that have held the "Day After" in Gaza hostage. But the answers, good or bad, will likely start to become clearer in the coming months.

“Today, on behalf of President Trump, we are announcing the launch of Phase Two of the President’s 20-Point Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, moving from ceasefire to demilitarization," Witkoff said.

US officials stated that President Trump sent out invitations to the countries he personally selected to be on the Gaza Board of Peace.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that "there is no plan" by Iran to hang people. "Hanging is out of the question."

The interim governing body for Gaza will have 15 members, according to Witkoff, though their names have not been confirmed. It remains unclear how Hamas will be disarmed as required by the plan.

Israel’s Security Cabinet met to discuss Phase II of the Gaza peace plan amid ongoing Iranian protests. The progression hinges on Hamas disarming and returning the remains of the final hostage.
