US President Donald Trump on Thursday (local time) announced the formation of a "Board of Peace" as part of Phase Two of his 20-Point Peace Plan to end the Gaza conflict, shifting the focus from ceasefire to demilitarisation, technocratic governance and reconstruction.
Pakistan has said it is willing to contribute troops to an international force to restore peace in Gaza, but only if the mandate excludes the disarmament of Hamas, a key clause in the US 20-point peace plan.
US President Donald Trump described Hamas' search for deceased hostages in Gaza as a "gruesome process," with bodies under rubble and in tunnels. He also stressed the need for weapons to be handed over, warning that if they are not, the US will take action.
US President Donald Trump warned that Hamas must disarm under the new peace deal or the US would act. He made the remarks during a meeting with Argentinian President Javier Milei at the White House after announcing a $20 billion financial aid package for Argentina's economy.
