The USA launches the second phase of Trump's plan for Gaza: transitional administration and demilitarization.

Launch of the second phase of President Trump's plan

According to TSN.ua: The United States has announced the launch of the second phase of President Donald Trump's plan aimed at ending the conflict in the Gaza Strip. This phase involves the creation of a transitional Palestinian administration, which will be named the National Committee for the Governance of Gaza (NCAG), as well as conditions for the demilitarization of the region. This step aims to stabilize the situation in Gaza and ensure a peace process.

U.S. Special Representative Steve Witkoff commented on the new stage of the plan, stating: 'We are announcing the launch of the second phase of President Trump's plan, which involves a transition to demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction.'

Witkoff also emphasized the importance of the successes of the first phase, which, according to him, 'delivered historic humanitarian aid, supported a ceasefire, returned all living hostages, and the remains of twenty-seven out of twenty-eight deceased hostages.'

The first phase of the peace plan

It should be noted that the first phase of the peace plan between Israel and Hamas was signed on October 9, 2025. Under this agreement, twenty-seven out of twenty-eight deceased hostages were returned. However, the U.S. demands the return of the body of the last deceased hostage, which remains an important issue in the context of ongoing negotiations and the implementation of the peace process.

The launch of the second phase of the peace plan indicates the U.S. intention to intervene more actively in resolving the conflict in Gaza, which may have far-reaching consequences for the stability of the region. The establishment of the National Committee for the Governance of Gaza may provide a new opportunity for the Palestinians, but the implementation of the plan depends on numerous factors, including the support of the international community and the willingness of all parties to compromise. The return of the last deceased hostage also remains an important issue that may affect trust between the parties and future negotiations.
