In January 2026, the US declared the start of phase two of its Gaza peace plan, aiming for Hamas disarmament and subsequent reconstruction. President Trump stated a deal with Hamas was imminent, threatening consequences for non-compliance. However, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu downplayed the announcement as largely symbolic. The transition to this next phase faces hurdles, particularly regarding commitments from both sides. Political analysts and experts are questioning the feasibility of the plan's implementation, considering the lack of explicit demands from the US for Israel to fulfill its obligations. The success of phase two remains uncertain despite the US announcement.
