The United States has announced the beginning of the second phase of President Donald Trump's plan to resolve the conflict in Gaza. This phase involves the establishment of a technocratic Palestinian government in Gaza, as well as the reconstruction and complete demilitarisation of the territory. The United States has called for the disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups, and expects full compliance, including the return of the body of the last Israeli hostage. The first phase of the plan included a ceasefire, a hostage-prisoner exchange, a partial Israeli withdrawal, and increased humanitarian aid.
