The "Wall Street Journal" revealed, citing senior American officials, that President Donald Trump's administration is officially about to announce, on Wednesday, the transition to the "next phase" of its plan for the Gaza Strip.
The officials confirmed that the most prominent step in this announcement will be the appointment of a "Palestinian committee" to take over the tasks of managing the devastated sector "temporarily", to fill the administrative vacuum in the current phase.
The newspaper explained that the American administration believes that the time is right to shift the focus from "stopping the conflict" to "managing and rebuilding the sector", which the administration calls "Phase Two" within its comprehensive 20-point plan.
These developments come in light of the "fragile" ceasefire in Gaza holding up so far, and after the Hamas movement returned all dead detainees - with the exception of only one - according to what the newspaper reported from American sources.
