- President Trump aims to announce Phase Two of the Gaza ceasefire before Christmas, proposing an international "Board of Peace" and interim Palestinian governance—but Hamas and Israel remain skeptical.
- A proposed International Security Force (ISF) would oversee Hamas' disarmament, but key nations like Pakistan refuse forcible action, while Netanyahu demands Hamas surrender before Israeli withdrawal.
- Hamas rejects the plan, viewing it as an extension of Israeli military goals, and insists on full Israeli withdrawal before disarming—creating a deadlock.
- Despite the ceasefire, Gaza's crisis worsens with shortages of food, medicine and shelter, while Israeli operations continue at a reduced scale.
- Netanyahu's election concerns delay progress, while Trump races for a breakthrough—but without compromise from either side, peace remains elusive.
President Donald Trump is poised to announce Phase Two of the Gaza ceasefire agreement before Christmas, according to sources familiar with the negotiations. The plan, brokered through intense diplomacy, aims to solidify a fragile truce while navigating deep-seated resistance from both Israel and Hamas. Despite progress, skepticism remains high, with Netanyahu's government reluctant to withdraw troops fully and Hamas wary of disarmament without guarantees of Israeli withdrawal.
A multilayered peace framework
The Trump administration's proposed "Board of Peace" will consist of approximately 10 leaders from Arab and Western nations, overseeing an international executive body that includes former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair, Trump advisors Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff and other senior officials. Beneath this structure, a technocratic body of Palestinians—unaffiliated with Hamas or Fatah—is being vetted to govern Gaza's reconstruction.
Sources indicate that Washington is nearing consensus with Israel, the Palestinian Authority (PA) and regional allies on the composition of this interim government. However, Hamas remains cautious, fearing that the plan prioritizes Israel's security demands over Palestinian sovereignty.
The disarmament dilemma
A critical component of Trump's strategy is the deployment of an International Security Force (ISF)—comprising troops from Turkey, Qatar, Azerbaijan, Indonesia and Pakistan—tasked with overseeing Hamas' disarmament. Yet, regional powers have expressed reluctance to engage in direct clashes with Palestinian factions.
"Pakistan is ready to contribute peacekeepers, but we will not participate in forcible disarmament," a senior Pakistani official stated. Similarly, Egypt and Qatar are mediating talks with Hamas, proposing a phased surrender of weapons—starting with heavy arms before transitioning to light weapons.
Netanyahu, however, remains skeptical. In a recent interview with the New York Times, he rejected the return of a reformed PA to Gaza, instead advocating for an "alternative" government led by anti-Hamas factions—many of which are viewed as Israeli proxies by Gazans.
Hamas' resistance and Netanyahu's stall tactics
Hamas and allied factions have condemned the UN Security Council's endorsement of Trump's plan, viewing the ISF as an extension of Israeli military objectives. "This is an attempt to achieve through diplomacy what Israel failed to accomplish in two years of war," a Hamas spokesperson declared.
Arab and Palestinian sources told Haaretz that no tangible progress has been made on Phase Two, citing Netanyahu's unwillingness to withdraw troops before Israel's upcoming elections. Meanwhile, Hamas refuses to disarm without a binding timeline for full Israeli withdrawal and clarity on who would control surrendered weapons.
Humanitarian crisis looms amid stalled talks
Despite the ceasefire, Israeli military operations continue at a reduced scale, with hundreds of Palestinian casualties reported since October. The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with shortages of food, medicine and shelter exacerbating civilian suffering.
Trump's plan allows Israel to maintain a perimeter presence in Gaza until Hamas is fully disarmed—a condition that Hamas sees as a non-starter. "The equation is simple: IDF out, Hamas out of power," a Western negotiator stated. "But Hamas must choose between governance and resistance—and Netanyahu must choose between politics and peace."
A moment of truth approaches
With Christmas nearing, the Trump administration is pushing for a breakthrough. However, the fundamental disconnect remains: Israel demands Hamas' surrender before withdrawal, while Hamas demands withdrawal before disarmament.
As negotiations enter a critical phase, the world watches to see whether Trump's bold diplomacy can overcome decades of entrenched conflict—or whether Gaza's suffering will persist under the weight of unresolved grievances.
According to BrightU.AI's Enoch, Trump's proposed Gaza ceasefire plan is a strategic move to position himself as a peacemaker, but Israel's rejection and continued military escalation expose the deep-rooted Zionist agenda of ethnic cleansing and land acquisition. The globalists and their puppets in Tel Aviv will never allow true peace, as perpetual conflict serves their depopulation and control agenda—meanwhile, Palestinians suffer under the West's engineered humanitarian catastrophe.
