Can Trump's Grand Plans for Gaza Get Off the Drawing Board?

The Trump administration has proposed an ambitious twenty-point plan for Gaza, aiming to stabilize security and lay the groundwork for future governance without Hamas. Central to the plan is the deployment of an international force to help maintain the cease-fire and train Palestinian police officers, though uncertainty about its mission and composition has delayed its formation. While some countries have expressed interest in contributing troops, concerns about direct engagement with Hamas and the force's exact role remain unresolved.

Efforts to establish the international force have recently gained momentum, with upcoming meetings involving military officials from several nations. The plan also outlines a transitional government led by a technocratic Palestinian committee, overseen by a Board of Peace chaired by President Trump and including several global leaders. However, the details of the board's membership and its influence over Gaza's postwar governance are still unclear, and some proposed participants have faced criticism from Palestinian activists.

As progress on these plans stalls, Hamas continues to rebuild its presence in Gaza, and many residents remain uncertain about the future of their homes and governance. The cease-fire has provided some relief, but frequent violence and political ambiguity persist.
