Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu will meet with US president Trump on Monday 29 December. According to the Prime Minister, they will discuss the next stages of the truce in Gaza and the global stabilisation forces provided for in the peace plan.
A Bedrosian spokesperson told journalists, "The Prime Minister will meet president Trump on Monday, December 29. They will discuss the next steps and phases (the truce), as well as (issues concerning) global stabilization forces (as foreseen in the - PAP) peace plan". The gathering is intended to address issues related to the implementation of the successive phases of the agreement, which in October led to a partial suspension of the fighting in the Gaza Strip.
Current state of truce
Israel and Hamas repeatedly accused each another of violating the terms of the agreement. As part of the first phase, Israeli troops withdrew to the alleged yellow line, ceding 47 percent of Gaza's territory under Palestinian control.
Hamas released all the surviving hostages, but he hasn't returned the body of 1 yet. On Sunday, the Prime Minister announced that the second phase of the ceasefire agreement would not begin until the body of the last hostage Hamas abducted during the attack on October 7, 2023.
Subsequent phases
Israel is to release 250 Palestinians who were sentenced to life imprisonment and 1,700 Gazans who were detained after the start of the war more than 2 years ago. The second phase assumes further withdrawal of Israeli troops after Hamas' disarmament.
Trump's twenty-point peace plan provides for the disarmament of Hamas, the transfer of the provisional authority of the Palestinian administration under global supervision, the establishment of stabilisation forces and the reconstruction of Gaza.
