Politico obtains a series of documents that have been circulated at the US-led Gaza ceasefire monitoring hub that the news site claims reveal doubts in Washington about the ability to maintain the ceasefire.
A slide deck obtained by Politico includes a question mark between phases one and two of the ceasefire, in what the site says underscores US uncertainty about the prospects of establishing an International Stabilization Force and disarming Hamas.
A State Department spokesperson dismisses the story’s claims, saying it “demonstrates a complete ignorance of the workings of the Gaza effort. Everyone wants to be a part of President Trump’s historic Middle East peace effort.”
“From the moment President Trump announced his 20 Point Plan, there has been an avalanche of ideas, suggestions, and proposals from dozens of countries and NGOs on an array of issues. We couldn’t possibly comment on the contents of the thousands of ideas and proposals that may or may not have been reviewed. The Trump administration will continue to uphold the ceasefire and effectively implement President Trump’s 20 Point Plan,” the spokesperson adds.
