Donald Trump is expected to unveil a proposed “day after” framework for Gaza within two weeks, following discussions with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu aimed at advancing a stalled second phase of the post-war plan. Since the ceasefire began, Washington has sought consensus on disarming Hamas, deploying an international stabilization force, and beginning reconstruction. Those efforts have been complicated by Hamas’ refusal to demilitarize, repeated ceasefire violations, and the failure to return the remains of the final hostage.

According to diplomatic sources, the administration’s alternative proposal—expected to be announced January 15—would establish a reconstruction oversight council to clear rubble, rebuild civilian infrastructure, and construct housing. The plan may also include an international force and, controversially, a Palestinian police component drawn from security personnel trained in Egypt—an idea Israel has resisted absent major reforms by the Palestinian Authority. Netanyahu has conditioned any PA role on ending stipends to terrorists and their families. The push for stability amid unresolved militancy underscores a familiar tension in the region: ambitious peace architectures confronting entrenched realities on the ground.
