The United States and Israel are discussing the possible division of the Gaza Strip, which should be a transitional step towards stabilizing the region. According to information published in the WSJ, the plan provides for the division of the territory into zones, one of which will be under the control of Israel, and the other under the control of the Hamas group. The restoration of the region will be carried out only in those territories controlled by Israel, until the militants are completely disarmed and removed from power.
Such details were announced by US Vice President Jay Dee Vance and adviser to former President Donald Trump Jared Kushner at a press conference in Israel. The temporary separation is called a "transitional step" towards future stability. The politicians called on all sides to observe the current ceasefire, according to which Israel is already withdrawing part of its military and currently controls about 53% of the enclave's territory.
Vance noted that the purpose of such actions is to ensure Israeli security and create favorable conditions for the gradual disarmament of Hamas. Kushner added that the United States will support any measures aimed at achieving peace and stability for civilians on both sides of the conflict.
The US Vice President explained that his visit to the region is part of a joint effort to ensure the implementation of the ceasefire. He stressed the importance of protecting people's interests and coordinating actions between all parties to the process.
However, according to The New York Times, there are concerns in the Trump administration that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu may abandon the proposed plan. This forces Vance, Kushner, and administration adviser Witkoff to actively negotiate to prevent a potential resumption of military attacks.
On October 13, US President Donald Trump announced that the war in the Gaza Strip was over. The leaders of Egypt, Qatar and Turkey, along with US President Donald Trump, signed a cease-fire agreement in the Gaza Strip. This happened during an international summit organized by Egypt.
However, the fighting in the Gaza Strip resumed for a while. On October 19, the Israeli army announced the resumption of the ceasefire, but after the Hamas attack, it launched large-scale airstrikes on Gaza. According to Palestinian doctors, the number of victims is at least 26 people, including a woman and a child. korrespondent.net.
