U.S. mediator Jared Kushner and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met Monday to discuss the next phase of the Gaza ceasefire agreement, focusing on disarming Hamas and stabilizing the region. The talks come amid heightened tensions over the militant group’s refusal to surrender its weapons.
Phase One: Hostage Recovery
Israeli government spokeswoman Shosh Bedrosian confirmed that phase one—securing the release of remaining hostages—is ongoing. But all eyes are now on phase two, which aims to “demilitarize Gaza” and ensure Hamas has “no future role” in governing the territory.
Phase Two: A New Security Blueprint 🌍
The proposed second phase includes creating an international stabilization force to oversee Gaza’s transition. While details remain under wraps, Bedrosian emphasized that discussions are “progressing.” Hamas, however, has called weapon relinquishment a “red line,” signaling potential roadblocks ahead.
As global leaders push for lasting peace, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Will diplomacy prevail, or will the cycle of conflict continue? Stay tuned for updates.
