The Gaza Plan & Abraham Accords 2.0
A US-brokered settlement has reshaped Gaza's governance in 2026. Under President Trump's 20-point plan, a Trump-chaired "Board of Peace" now sits atop the enclave's transition, backed by a UN Security Council resolution, a technocratic administration on the ground and an international security force. Washington wants to ride the momentum to widen the Abraham Accords to more Arab states. Running the other way is a wave of Western recognitions of Palestinian statehood, with the UK, Canada, France, Australia and Portugal all moving in September 2025. India, holding to its long-standing line, backs a negotiated two-state outcome and an immediate ceasefire.
