U.S. President Donald Trump said on Thursday that Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar are backing his push for a comprehensive demilitarization agreement with Hamas, as Washington moves forward with the next phase of its plan to end the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza. The announcement signals renewed U.S. diplomatic efforts to stabilize the region and shape Gaza’s post-war governance.
In a post on Truth.Social, Trump said the United States, with the support of Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar, would seek a “COMPREHENSIVE Demilitarization Agreement with Hamas.” He also urged Hamas to immediately honor its commitments under the existing ceasefire arrangement, emphasizing the need for lasting security and regional stability.
Trump further stated that he supports the formation of a newly appointed Palestinian Technocratic Government to govern Gaza during its transition period. According to U.S. officials, this proposal is part of the second phase of Trump’s 20-point plan aimed at ending the Israel-Hamas conflict. The new phase focuses on establishing an administrative body for Gaza, known as the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, which would oversee governance and reconstruction efforts.
Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar have played key roles as mediators between Israel and Hamas, particularly during negotiations that led to a ceasefire agreement that took effect in October. While the ceasefire marked a major step toward de-escalation, it has been tested by multiple violations since its implementation, highlighting the fragility of the truce.
Despite these challenges, U.S. officials say the first phase of Trump’s Gaza peace plan has largely been completed. Israel has withdrawn its military forces from the eastern half of the Gaza Strip, and Hamas has released several Israeli hostages in recent months.
Trump’s latest comments underscore Washington’s continued focus on demilitarizing Hamas, reshaping Gaza’s governance, and working with regional partners to bring an end to one of the most protracted and volatile conflicts in the Middle East.
