The U.S. State Department announced Tuesday, marking one year since the agreement that concluded the war and secured the release of hostages. In a released memorandum, the U.S. acknowledged that the reconstruction of Gaza will be a difficult, multi-year process. Despite the challenges, the announcement expressed optimism for a future Gaza free from Hamas rule, where Palestinians can live without the organization's governance and Israel can achieve lasting security. The U.S. document highlighted achievements stemming from the agreement, including the establishment of a technocratic government, the formation of a "Peace Council," and a significant increase in humanitarian aid.
Practical steps toward disarming Gaza are now advancing. Last Sunday, Israel approved the entry of an American company, operating under the Peace Council, into Gaza. Teams are expected to arrive in the coming days to identify and map specific locations where Hamas operatives can surrender their weapons for destruction. This initiative is a core component of President Trump's peace plan, which mandates the complete disarmament of Gaza.
The American delegation will focus its efforts in Israeli-controlled areas of southern Gaza, particularly Rafah and Khan Younis. Their task will be to locate secure sites for militants to hand over their arms, with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) providing security for the operation.
