The Trump administration’s special envoy announced Wednesday the launch of phase two of a plan to end the war between Israel and Hamas, which is to establish a transitional technocratic Palestinian administration in Gaza. <\/p>\n
‘The US expects Hamas to comply fully with its obligations, including the immediate return of the final deceased hostage. Failure to do so will bring serious consequences,’ Witkoff said in a post on X. <\/p>\n
The new phase will consist of ‘moving from ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance and reconstruction,’ he said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Witkoff didn’t offer new details about a potential Palestinian administration that would govern Gaza, which has faced a humanitarian crisis since the start of the war, which began after Hamas attacked Israel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
As part of the news phase, Witkoff said the Trump administration expects Hamas to immediately return the final deceased hostage as part of its obligations under the deal.<\/p>\n
The terror group’s failure to do so would result in ‘serious consequences,’ he said. <\/p>\n
The United States has been in talks with mediators in Egypt and other regional partners to ensure that Hamas complies with its obligations under the peace plan. <\/p>\n
Part of that includes the group giving up its heavy weapons and the launch of a ‘buy-back’ program for lighter weapons, according to the US official and two Arab diplomats, The Times of Israel reported. <\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Israel has made it clear it will not allow Turkish armed forces to operate inside Gaza, viewing the country as a destabilizing actor despite efforts by Ankara to present itself as a reconstruction partner. <\/p>\n
