Washington D.C. – The second phase of the Gaza peace agreement is reportedly set to be announced before Christmas, according to American officials. The planned announcement, revealed on Thursday, signals a significant step forward in the ongoing efforts to establish lasting peace in the region.
Sources familiar with the matter indicate that the Gaza Peace Council, chaired by President Trump, will assume leadership of the governing structure in Gaza. This move underscores Washington’s commitment, alongside mediators, to providing all necessary elements for a successful agreement in this next phase.
A White House official reportedly stated that the official announcement regarding the Peace Council and the continued implementation of the Gaza peace plan is expected within weeks. This timeline suggests a swift and decisive approach to solidifying the progress made thus far.
President Trump commented on Wednesday, stating that “The second phase of the Gaza agreement is moving forward and will be implemented soon.” His statement reinforces the administration’s dedication to seeing the peace process through to completion.
The progress comes amidst ongoing tensions, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas exchanging accusations regarding the stalled implementation of the agreement. The fragile ceasefire agreement, brokered last October, has been repeatedly violated, resulting in continued casualties.
Since assuming his second term, President Trump has maintained strong support for Israel. The conflict in Gaza has resulted in a devastating loss of life, with over 70,000 Palestinians reportedly killed and approximately 171,000 injured, the majority of whom are women and children. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely as the second phase of the peace agreement approaches.
