Humanitarian Aid and Reconstruction
- Full aid flow to Gaza will resume without interference, with an aim of 600 aid trucks per day.
- Aid includes restoring infrastructure such as water, electricity, sewage, hospitals.
- The Rafah crossing with Egypt has been opened for aid, and the U.S. is sending troops to monitor ceasefire and aid delivery.
Stabilization and Governance
- An International Stabilization Force (ISF) will be deployed to Gaza for security during the transition.
- Gaza will be governed temporarily by a technocratic, apolitical Palestinian committee under international supervision.
- The Palestinian Authority (PA) will be reformed to prepare for eventual governance of Gaza.
Demilitarization
- Gaza will be demilitarized, with military and terror infrastructure destroyed.
- A weapons buy-back program and independent monitoring will ensure permanent disarmament of Hamas’s armed factions.
Economic and Political Goals
- An expert panel will develop an economic plan to rebuild and energize Gaza’s economy.
- Proposals include establishing a special economic zone with preferred trade terms.
- No Palestinians will be forcibly removed, and Israel will not occupy or annex Gaza.
- Gaza will be redeveloped for the benefit of its population but as a deradicalized zone.
- Hamas will not have a governance role but can gain amnesty if it commits to peaceful coexistence or safe passage out of Gaza.
Challenges and Outlook
- Hamas’s acceptance of disarmament and governance transition remains uncertain.
- Israeli political factions show mixed reactions, with some opposing the PA’s role in Gaza.
- Broad international support and monitoring are crucial for success.
