"The White House wants to move beyond phase one of the Gaza ceasefire process in January, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed back, creating friction with United States President Donald Trump's senior team, according to Israeli media reports. Israel's Channel 12 quoted senior White House officials as saying the US hopes to announce the establishment of a Palestinian technocratic government to run day-to-day affairs in Gaza in early January, a key provision of phase two of the plan to end the genocidal war."
"The White House also plans to unveil a multinational peace council to oversee the technocratic government's work and an international stabilisation force to handle security in Gaza next month, Channel 12 reported. Trump could announce the peace council, which he has suggested he would head, as early as in the Davos Economic Forum on January 19, it added. Meanwhile, the US envisions the start of staged disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups,"
The White House aims to move beyond phase one of the Gaza ceasefire process in January and plans to announce a Palestinian technocratic government to run Gaza's day-to-day affairs. A multinational peace council and an international stabilization force are intended to oversee that government's work and handle security in Gaza. The US envisions staged disarmament of Hamas and other Palestinian armed groups to be managed by the technocratic government. Disarmament remains a major sticking point, with Hamas open to a temporary weapons freeze but not full disarmament. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has pushed back, expressing skepticism and creating friction with US officials.
