Trump Gaza 20-point plan Phase 2: From Ceasefire to Demilitarization
US Envoy Steve Witkoff announces Phase 2 of the Trump Gaza 20-point plan on Jan 14, 2026, targeting demilitarization and technocratic governance.
The Trump administration is shifting gears in the Middle East. On January 14, 2026, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff announced the launch of the second phase of the Trump Gaza 20-point plan. It's a move that signals a transition from a fragile ceasefire to a structured, US-brokered governance model for the devastated enclave.
Strategic Shift: Trump Gaza 20-point plan Phase 2
According to Witkoff's official statement, Phase 2 focuses on three main pillars: demilitarization, the establishment of a technocratic governance, and full-scale reconstruction. The plan envisions a transitional administration overseeing the territory, which has seen more than 80% of its buildings damaged or destroyed.
The US expects Hamas to comply fully, particularly with the return of the final deceased hostage. While Hamas has previously signaled readiness to step back from day-to-day governance, the group hasn't yet commented on the specifics of this new phase. Meanwhile, an "international stabilisation force" is expected to provide security.
The Board of Peace and Governance
The architecture of the plan involves a Board of Peace chaired by President Donald Trump. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed last week that Nickolay Mladenov, a former UN envoy, would lead this board to manage the technocratic Palestinian government.
Humanitarian Crisis Amid Ceasefire Violations
Despite the diplomatic push, the reality on the ground remains grim. The Gaza Government Media Office reports that Israel has violated the ceasefire over 1,190 times since October, resulting in over 400 deaths. Aid remains a critical bottleneck, with international groups calling on Israel to meet the agreed-upon quota of 600 trucks daily.
