Summary:
The United States, through special envoy Steve Witkoff, has announced the start of phase two of President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, focusing on demilitarization, technocratic governance, and reconstruction. This phase includes establishing the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG) as a transitional Palestinian administration and demands the full disarmament of unauthorized personnel, with expectations that Hamas will comply, including returning the final deceased hostage, Master Sgt. Ran Gvili. Phase one involved a ceasefire and the release of nearly all hostages by Hamas, while Israel freed thousands of Palestinian prisoners and partially withdrew military forces. The plan faces challenges such as Hamas’s refusal to disarm, stalled reconstruction efforts, and the uncertain deployment of an International Stabilization Force amid international reluctance, with Turkey seeking a role in Gaza’s reconstruction despite Israeli opposition.

Scripture: Ezekiel 36:24-26
"For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands, and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh."
Commentary:
These negotiations and power shifts are happening in Gaza—a land God gave to Israel, which makes every proposed governance and peace plan carry deep prophetic significance. On the ground, families are weighed down by uncertainty and the sense that outside powers often shape their future. Political solutions will be tested, but only real transformation can bring lasting change. Scripture shows us that God claims this territory and ultimately determines its destiny. These attempts at demilitarization and new leadership echo the prophetic patterns of relentless global focus and contention over Israel’s land.
Prophetic Trend:
Efforts to impose new governance in Gaza display rising international pressure on Israel’s covenant land, fulfilling end-times patterns of global involvement and tension.

Failure to do so will bring serious consequences.” Under phase one of Trump’s peace plan, a ceasefire took effect and Hamas was required to release all remaining host...
