All sources agree that demilitarization is the core of Phase Two.

By Hezy Laing

The media has been full of expectation of moving forward to the second phase of President Donald Trump’s Peace Plan for Gaza – but few outlets explain what this really entails.

Here is a concise breakdown.

The second phase of the Gaza plan focuses on three pillars: demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction.

1. Demilitarization of Gaza

All sources agree this is the core of Phase Two.

Disarmament of Hamas and all “unauthorized armed personnel” in Gaza
Establishment of mechanisms to prevent re‑armament
U.S.‑supervised security arrangements
Removal of remaining militant infrastructure

This is described as the “real test” of the plan’s success.

2. Creation of a Transitional Technocratic Palestinian Administration

Phase Two replaces Hamas governance with a non‑political, expert‑led authority.

A technocratic committee to handle civil administration

This body will be responsible for:

Restoring public services
Rebuilding civil institutions
Managing daily governance
Preparing for long‑term self‑rule

3. Reconstruction of Gaza

Phase Two initiates large‑scale rebuilding:

Rebuilding critical infrastructure (water, electricity, hospitals, schools)
International funding and oversight
U.S.‑led “Board of Peace” coordinating investment and reconstruction efforts

The reconstruction is tied to progress on demilitarization.

4. International Oversight and Coordination

Several reports highlight new international bodies:

Board of Peace chaired by President Trump, including global political and financial leaders

Peace Council for Gaza, with international oversight (Israel National News)

Participation from the U.S., UK, Turkey, Qatar, and others

These bodies would supervise:

Governance transition
Security compliance
Reconstruction funding

5. Gradual Withdrawal of Israeli Forces

Phase Two also includes steps toward:

Removing Israeli forces from Gaza as conditions allow
Ensuring security arrangements remain intact during the transition

This is conditional on Hamas disarmament and stability.

6. Preparation for Phase Three

Finally the second phase is also the bridge to the final stage, which focuses on major reconstruction, economic development, and long‑term political arrangements.
