Israel, once central to aid delivery and coordination, has been relegated to a supporting role as the United States drives decision-making, particularly regarding humanitarian aid and the implementation of President Donald Trump's comprehensive ceasefire plan. The plan envisions an International Stabilization Force taking control of Gaza as Israeli forces withdraw, with several countries considering troop contributions, though key details about the force's mandate and composition remain unresolved.
The United States is pushing for a United Nations Security Council resolution to legitimize the stabilization force and a new civilian administration for Gaza, but some countries are hesitant to commit troops without a clear international mandate. The plan also calls for reforms by the Palestinian Authority before it can assume control of Gaza, though specifics remain vague. Meanwhile, Hamas is reasserting its presence in Gaza, and the process of returning hostages and remains continues under the terms of the ceasefire agreement.
