Internal Documents Highlight Trump Administration's Concerns Over Gaza Agreement Implementation

Internal documents disclosed by the American magazine "Politico" on Tuesday show that officials within President Donald Trump's administration voiced serious concerns about the challenges associated with implementing several key provisions of the Gaza agreement, which came into effect on October 10.

The documents, presented during a closed seminar organized by the U.S. Central Command and the new Civil-Military Coordination Center in southern Israel, indicated that the second phase of the agreement faces legal and logistical hurdles, including:

- Lack of a clear path for the disarmament of Hamas.

- Difficulties in forming and deploying an international peacekeeping force, including issues related to legal mandates, rules of engagement, and deployment sites.

- Israeli reluctance to fully withdraw from Gaza, despite initial commitments.

- Complexities in approving a transitional Palestinian government under the supervision of the Peace Council, along with challenges in reforming the Palestinian Authority.

While the first phase of the agreement, which included a ceasefire and the return of hostages, has been partially implemented, the second phase appears to be at risk of stagnation. This has led some U.S. officials to warn of the potential for a complete collapse of the agreement if these issues are not addressed promptly.

The documents also reveal that the U.S. administration is striving to maintain its political commitment to the plan, but is facing both internal and external pressures, particularly amid escalating tensions in Rafah and delays in the return of bodies by Hamas, which hinder progress toward the next phase.
