U.S. President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Steve Witkoff, announced on Wednesday the establishment of a technocratic Palestinian body that will play a role in administering the war-ravaged territory under a phased U.S. plan for Gaza’s future.

“Today, on behalf of President Trump, we are announcing the launch of Phase Two of the President’s 20-Point Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, moving from ceasefire to demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction,” Witkoff said in a post on social media platform X.

It remains unclear how Hamas, which has regrouped since a fragile ceasefire began in October, will be disarmed as required under the plan.

Israel and Hamas signed off in October on Trump’s plan, which says that the technocratic body will be overseen by the international “Board of Peace” that is meant to govern Gaza for a transitional period.
