The U.S.-led peace plan for the Gaza Strip is beginning to transition from the first phase to the second, following the release of all living Israeli hostages, senior U.S. advisers told reporters on Wednesday.

“We got through phase one very, very well, and now we’re all working hard to create the conditions for a successful implementation of phase two,” the adviser said. “Phase two calls for a nonpolitical, technocratic, Palestinian governance there, and that process is starting to find the right people, recruit the right people, create the right conditions for it.”
