White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt has stated that all parties have agreed on a preliminary deal to establish peace in Gaza, and discussions are now underway on a framework to implement that agreement. She emphasized, “We want to ensure that there remains no threat to Israel’s security and that sustainable peace is established in the region.”
Speaking at a press conference at the White House, Leavitt further revealed that consultations are ongoing regarding the formation of a technocratic interim governing body for the administration of the Palestinian territories. However, the names for this body have not yet been finalized.
In response to a journalist’s question about whether the Trump administration would recognize Palestine as a state after the peace agreement, Leavitt said:
“At this point, I will not comment on any potential political scenario beyond the agreement. Our focus is currently on the implementation of the peace agreement.”
