US President Trump's controversial plan to take control of Gaza encounters widespread criticism while a fragile ceasefire enters its 20th day, marking the reported death of over 62,000 Palestinians. Trump seeks to temper expectations, Israeli military redeploys in Gaza, UN calls for ICC independence, France condemns the plan, and Israel and Hamas agree to a fifth prisoner swap.
A fragile truce in Israel 's conflict with Gaza , reportedly claiming over 62,000 Palestinian lives, enters its 20th day. Adding to the tension, US President Donald Trump , facing criticism for his plan to take control of Gaza , attempted to downplay its controversial nature. Trump characterized his proposal – dubbed a 'real estate transaction' – as 'very well received,' though the reception by regional leaders, allies, and even Republican colleagues on Capitol Hill was decidedly lukewarm.
He also backtracked on his initial suggestion of deploying American troops, stating, 'We don't need anybody there.' Instead, he envisioned a scenario where Israel would 'supply and give us' control of Gaza, monitoring its security. Trump asserted that the US presence, even without a physical military deployment, would contribute to peace in the region.Meanwhile, the Israeli military is preparing for the second phase of the ceasefire agreement, redeploying three divisions along the Gaza border. This redeployment, aimed at bolstering defenses for Israeli civilians in the Negev region, comes ahead of the scheduled withdrawal from the Netzarim Corridor on the 22nd day of the ceasefire. The corridor, separating northern and southern Gaza, will be vacated to an area near the Gaza border. The international community is grappling with the implications of President Trump's Gaza proposal. The United Nations has called for the International Criminal Court (ICC) to operate independently, emphasizing the importance of international criminal law in combating impunity. France has condemned Trump's plan, arguing that it violates international law and the Palestinians' right to their land, presenting a significant obstacle to a two-state solution.In a separate development, Israel is set to release 183 Palestinian prisoners as part of a fifth hostage-prisoner swap with Hamas. This agreement, facilitated by the ongoing ceasefire, aims to ease tensions between the two sides. Hamas, in turn, has released the names of three Israeli hostages it will free in the upcoming exchange. The US has imposed a 'red line' regarding Hezbollah's involvement in Lebanon's next government, citing the group's military setbacks against Israel in previous conflicts
