Gaza Peace Plan — Phase II

As of late June, Phase II remains largely stalled. Hamas refuses disarmament; Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has threatened to restart war if Hamas does not comply. Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov announced reconstruction planning underway "sector by sector," but actual rebuilding has not commenced. Trump administration circulated proposal to relocate Gaza residents from Hamas-held areas into "board-run zones" and route tax revenue to the board — neither government has confirmed document's existence.

June 26 pro-peace demonstrations called by Palestinian activists in 18 Gaza locations largely failed to materialize. Hamas deployed armed militants to key intersections and launched intimidation campaign. Activists reported "extensive security cordon across Gaza without official announcement."
