The Gaza ceasefire process is officially moving into Phase Two, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirming that the first phase is complete, including hostage returns and prisoner exchanges. As the diplomatic machinery accelerates, Washington and several international partners are pushing for a long-term stabilization plan to prevent a renewed spiral of conflict. Netanyahu signaled that Phase Two will focus on Hamas disarmament and steps toward Gaza demilitarisation, while Israel anticipates a full military withdrawal once the final hostage is safely returned.
