Direct speech Trump: “I’m not worried about anything Israel is doing. I’m worried about what other people are doing or maybe not doing, but I’m not worried. They’ve executed the plan. They’re strong.”

“Israel followed the plan 100%.”
Details: The US is pushing for a swift transition to the next phase of the Gaza peace plan, but Israel is reluctant to continue withdrawing troops from the enclave without disarming Hamas.
That has created tension with some White House advisers, who believe Netanyahu may be delaying the transition to the next phase, sources familiar with the situation told CNN.
The second phase of the agreement includes the disarmament of Hamas, the beginning of reconstruction and the establishment of a post-war administration.
What preceded: Special Envoy of the US President, Steve Witkoff, announced on December 21 that representatives of the United States, Egypt, Qatar and Turkey met to assess the results of the first phase of the ceasefire in Gaza and plan preparations for the second phase.
Before the start of negotiations with Netanyahu Trump saidwhich will support new Israeli attacks on Iran if Tehran continues its missile and nuclear program.
Netanyahu called Trump “a great happiness for Israel” and the world.
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remind youat: A cease-fire in the Gaza Strip officially began at noon on October 10, when the Israeli army said it had withdrawn troops to agreed deployment lines as part of a deal with Hamas to release all hostages held by the terror group.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.
