Details: According to Witkoff, the second-phase discussions focused on “the need to establish a governing body in Gaza under the leadership of a unified Gaza government” to protect civilians and maintain public order.
In our discussions regarding the second phase, we emphasized the need for a governing body in Gaza under the leadership of a single Gaza authority to protect civilians and maintain public order.
Direct speech Witkoff: “We also discussed regional integration measures, including trade facilitation, infrastructure development and cooperation in energy, water and other shared resources, which are necessary for Gaza’s recovery, regional stability and long-term prosperity.
In this context, we expressed support for the rapid establishment and start of the Peace Council as a transitional administration for civil, security and reconstruction areas.”
Details: Witkoff added that it is important to coordinate the next steps of the phased implementation of the peace plan for Gaza with international partners.
Direct speech Witkoff: “We confirm our full commitment to the 20-point peace plan of the president (Donald Trump’s USA – ed.) and call on all parties to adhere to their commitments, exercise restraint and cooperate within monitoring mechanisms.”
Let me remind youat: A cease-fire in the Gaza Strip officially began at noon on October 10, when the Israeli army said it had withdrawn troops to agreed deployment lines as part of a deal with Hamas to release all hostages held by the terror group.
In early December, Qatar said that negotiations on the US-backed ceasefire in the Gaza Strip were in a “critical” phase, and that the ceasefire was not being fully implemented by either side.
It was previously reported that the Palestinian Authority continues to pay cash aid to convicted terrorists and their families, despite official commitments to Great Britain and the European Union to stop this practice.
