Trump Claims 3 Countries “Back Up” Hamas Demilitarization
US President Donald Trump claimed that Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar are aligning with Washington in pushing for a “comprehensive” demilitarization agreement with Hamas. In a social media post, Trump called the support of these three countries key to securing the next phase of the ceasefire—and pressured Hamas to immediately comply with its commitments.
At the same time, Trump also stated his support for the formation of a technocratic Palestinian government that would administer Gaza during a transitional period. This scheme is linked to the next phase of the plan, which targets the establishment of an administrative body for Gaza, as the focus shifts from a “ceasefire” to “demilitarization and governance.”
However, this political signal from the White House comes at a time when the negotiation process remains fragile. Several reports indicate that mediators are working to maintain the dialogue, but the most sensitive issues—Hamas’s disarmament and the details of the transitional government structure—remain potential points of contention on the ground. Overall, Trump's message today was clear: Washington wants to "lock in" the new phase with a combination of diplomatic pressure and a transitional government format, while also partnering with regional mediators to bridge the gap in the conflict, which has been plagued by repeated ceasefire violations and mistrust between the two sides.
