US Launches Phase Two of Gaza Peace Plan with New Palestinian Governance Body

The US has launched Phase Two of its Gaza peace plan, shifting focus from ceasefire to demilitarisation, technocratic governance, and reconstruction. A 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee, led by Ali Shaath, will manage Gaza's administration under the supervision of a newly formed 'Board of Peace' chaired by US President Donald Trump. Hamas has expressed readiness to hand over governance but resists full disarmament. Challenges remain, including Israeli military presence, ceasefire violations, and the recovery of a hostage's remains. Reconstruction efforts face logistical and security hurdles amid ongoing tensions.
