Gaza Ceasefire: Phase 2 Talks Critical
The initial phase of the Gaza ceasefire has reached a "critical moment," with international mediators intensely working to advance the deal to a second phase, despite the significant hurdle of securing the return of the last Israeli hostage's remains. Qatar's Prime Minister clarified that the current cessation is merely a "pause," while a proposed second phase, championed by U.S. President Donald Trump, aims to deploy an International Stabilization Force and establish a technocratic Palestinian government.
