Trump is considering sending a special representative to Gaza, according to NBC News.

Trump's special representative for the Middle East, Steve Witkoff, is considering a visit to Gaza. The trip may take place as part of his efforts to maintain the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing NBC News.

According to a source, the team of the elected US President Donald Trump believes that the agreement, which is set to take effect today, is fragile. Consequently, Witkoff plans to be present in the region almost continuously over the coming weeks and months to address any outbreaks of tension on the ground that he believes could undermine the agreement and impede the release of hostages.

"We need to stay informed and be ready to address issues as they arise," the official said.

At the same time, Witkoff is working towards achieving long-term stability for Israelis and the 2 million displaced Palestinians, a path that involves three phases of the agreement reached recently.

The first phase, which is set to begin on Sunday, will last about six weeks and includes the release of hostages. This pertains to both those held by Hamas in Gaza and Palestinians detained by Israel.

The second phase will be discussed during the first and is expected to lead to the release of additional hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza.

The goal of the final phase—the third, which is yet to be discussed—is to end the war and initiate the reconstruction of Gaza.

Agreement between Israel and Hamas

Recall that yesterday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu made the first public comments regarding the agreement with Hamas, which is expected to come into effect today. He referred to the first stage of the hostage release document as a "temporary ceasefire."

Additionally, he noted that Trump and the still-serving US President Joe Biden have indicated that Israel may resume military actions in Gaza if the subsequent phases of the agreements are not implemented.

Furthermore, just before this, Netanyahu's office stated that Hamas has not yet provided a list of hostages that will be released first. This, in turn, may delay the start of the ceasefire.
