US EditionTrump’s Gaza ceasefire plan faces great uncertainty as it moves into a new phase
The White House established a 15-member Palestinian technocratic committee to govern Gaza, aiming to oversee demilitarization, reconstruction, and security despite ongoing challenges with Hamas disarmament.
- On Wednesday, January 14, 2026, the White House announced the Trump Gaza plan entered its second phase, with US special envoy Steve Witkoff saying it will focus on demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction.
- After phase one focused on immediate ceasefire priorities, an agreement in Cairo on Wednesday created a Palestinian national committee to administer Gaza in phase two.
- The technocratic plan sets up a 15-member National Committee for the Administration of Gaza and an international `Board of Peace`, with invitations sent and Nickolay Mladenov expected to represent the Board on the ground.
- Humanitarian supplies remain far below agreed levels, with only 24,611 aid trucks and just over 600 fuel trucks entering Gaza, worsening conditions for more than 1.5 million displaced Palestinians.
- With disarmament unresolved, Hamas welcomed the new administration but still refuses to lay down its weapons, while US officials say talks will focus on demilitarisation and amnesty amid Israel's skepticism and offers to Keir Starmer, Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, and Steve Witkoff.
