Trump's Peace Plan

Norway was invited to serve on the board as well, but refused the offer. The Norwegian Foreign Ministry did not provide an immediate explanation.

Senior Hamas figures are reportedly weighing a coordinated departure from Gaza following the rollout of Phase II of Donald Trump’s plan, according to sources cited by Asharq al-Awsat.

Competing views on Hamas, the role of regional mediators, and the absence of Palestinian political representation at the executive level are shaping the next phase.

One essential element remains conspicuously absent from the new peace plan: a credible, empowered Palestinian representative capable of engaging Israel directly.

There are over 60 million tons of rubble in Gaza, the UN official claimed, enough to nearly fill 3,000 container ships, and enough for everyone in Gaza to be surrounded by 30 tons of it on average.

If Israel is to move from war to recovery and from pain to reconstruction, Rani must be returned.

“As I have said before, we can do this the easy way or the hard way. The people of Gaza have suffered long enough. The time is NOW,” Trump wrote.

There are a few answers to the major existential questions that have held the "Day After" in Gaza hostage. But the answers, good or bad, will likely start to become clearer in the coming months.

“Today, on behalf of President Trump, we are announcing the launch of Phase Two of the President’s 20-Point Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, moving from ceasefire to demilitarization," Witkoff said.

US officials stated that President Trump sent out invitations to the countries he personally selected to be on the Gaza Board of Peace.
