Gaza stabilisation force requires a 'political horizon for the manifestation of a Palestinian state'

Despite repeated bursts of violence in the week since the truce was agreed, the U.S. envoys Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner are expected to urge the start of the second phase of the ceasefire plan. Monday’s incident, in the Gaza City suburb of Tuffah, was the latest along the “yellow line” demarcating Israel’s military pullback inside Gaza from the main populated areas, stoking new fears among Gaza residents. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on the next phase of the ceasefire, Annette Young is pleased to welcome Dr H. A. Hellyer, Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI) for Defence and International Security Studies in London.
