Secretary of State Antony Blinken will make a case for a plan for the post-war reconstruction and governance of Gaza in a speech to the Atlantic Council. The plan has been in the works for a year and outlines how Gaza would be run without Hamas in charge, details reconstruction priorities, and provides for security in the territory. Blinken has spent months trying to sell the plan to Israel, the Palestinian Authority, and Gulf Arab nations. The urgency of keeping the plan alive has increased after the election of President-elect Donald Trump, and U.S. officials have brought Trump aides into the discussions to get their buy-in on the plan.
