Steve Witkoff says Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan is “moving from ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction”.
U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff announced the second phase of Donald Trump’s 20-point Gaza plan, focusing on demilitarization and reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. The U.S. expects Hamas to comply with obligations, including the return of hostages, while Israel has reportedly violated the ceasefire over 1,190 times since October, resulting in significant Palestinian casualties. The exact governance structure for Gaza remains unclear, and humanitarian groups urge Israel to facilitate aid delivery. Meanwhile, over 71,400 Palestinians have died since the war began in October 2023.
