Policy analysis by Yousef Munayyer arguing that Phase Two of Trump's Gaza ceasefire plan is structurally set up to fail due to the unique nature of the Trump presidency, Washington's constant deference to Israeli interests, and Israel's unwillingness to publicly endorse a vision for Gaza that supports Palestinian self-determination. Munayyer looks at Israel's systematic violations of Phase One obligations and examines the dysfunctional architecture of Phase Two. The piece also describes Netanyahu's political alternatives, ranging from ethnic cleansing and Israeli resettlement to Arab administration of Gaza without Palestinian nationality. Meaningful for research on the Gaza ceasefire, the Board of Peace, Palestinian governance, and US-Israel relations.
