Middle East crisis live: Trump claims Gaza deal reached; Iran targets US bases in Kuwait
Donald Trump has announced a peace roadmap for Gaza involving a ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli troops, and the establishment of a new governing body called the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. The plan includes provisions for an international stabilization force and the decommissioning of militant weaponry.
Why it matters
This represents a significant geopolitical shift in the Middle East conflict, involving a transition to new governance and international oversight in the Gaza Strip.
Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has issued a statement on X with more details on its roadmap for implementing the Gaza ceasefire plan. Here are the main points:
All parties reaffirm their commitment to end the violence in Gaza, secure the “complete” withdrawal of Israeli troops and allow “a credible political path that achieves self-determination and statehood” for Palestinians .
Both Israel and Hamas will, “without delay”, end all military operations in Gaza. Once this is done and a timetable is set, t he National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) will enter the Strip and assume responsibility for its governance.
Progression from one phase to the following one is contingent upon the completion of all previous phases.
