Hold up, world—phase two of the Gaza truce is heating up! 🤝 On Monday, U.S. mediator Jared Kushner sat down with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to map out the next steps in the ceasefire.
They kicked around the deal’s most sensitive bits after wrapping up phase one, which is still in motion to secure the release of remaining hostages. Now, phase two is all about disarming Hamas, demilitarizing Gaza and making sure the group has zero role in Gaza’s future politics. 🔑
Another big piece? Setting up an international stabilization force to keep the peace—and the fine print is still under discussion. This team could include UN experts, neighboring countries and global peacekeepers working together.
But here’s the twist: Hamas has repeatedly slammed the idea of handing over its weapons as a red line. 🔴 That standoff will be a major hurdle for negotiators aiming for lasting calm.
What’s next? Keep an eye on updates as parties hash out who does what, when and how. For now, the world is watching to see if phase two can turn fragile ceasefire into a stable peace.
