The United States has announced that the Gaza ceasefire plan is entering its second phase, which will focus on disarming Hamas, rebuilding the region, and establishing daily governance. Steve Witkoff, the envoy, stated that the next steps involve creating a technocratic government and reconstruction efforts, but did not provide specifics about the new Palestinian administration that would oversee Gaza. The White House also refrained from sharing further details on the transition. As part of the ceasefire agreement, the United States expects Hamas to return the final deceased hostage immediately.
