Washington moved forward Wednesday with Phase 2 of President Trump’s 20-point Gaza resolution framework. Envoy Steve Witkoff’s announcement spotlights disarming militants, technocrat governance via the NCAG, and reconstruction, evolving beyond the initial truce.
‘On President Trump’s behalf, Phase 2 launches today—focusing on demilitarization, technical administration, and renewal,’ Witkoff posted online. The plan mandates stripping weapons from all rogue armed entities in Gaza.
This interim NCAG will manage affairs expertly during transition. U.S. expansion into enforcement underscores commitment, demanding Hamas cooperation on hostages: ‘Expect full compliance, starting with the last remains’ return.’
Witkoff’s stern warning of ‘serious consequences’ looms over defiance. Phase 1 delivered: aid surges, ceasefire hold, living hostages home, 27/28 remains back. Mediators Egypt, Turkey, Qatar hailed as heroes.
Their ‘indispensable efforts enabled all progress,’ he acknowledged. As Phase 2 unfolds, Gaza stands at a crossroads—demilitarization key to sustainable peace and prosperity under U.S.-backed technocracy.
