The Focus Now Shifts

  • Disarming groups
  • Setting up a temporary government
  • Rebuilding the area

Creating a Temporary Government

  • Oversee the rebuilding process
  • Ensure armed groups give up their weapons
  • Unclear who will be part of this government
  • Unclear how much power they will have

Rebuilding Gaza

  • A massive task
  • Over 80% of buildings damaged or destroyed
  • The ceasefire has been broken more than 1,190 times by Israel
  • Any further violence could delay or ruin these plans

The U. S. Warns Hamas

  • Must follow the rules
  • Including returning any remaining hostages
  • Serious consequences if they don't
  • Hamas has not yet responded

Israel's Stance

  • Has not commented on the new phase of the plan
  • So many uncertainties
  • Hard to say what will happen next

The Road Ahead

  • The road to peace and reconstruction in Gaza is long and complicated
