Well, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, he never actually sent negotiators to hammer out the details of a second phase. And he wants a different deal now that does not permanently end the war, but frees more hostages taken in the Hamas attack on Israel in 2023.

So instead of proceeding with the original deal, Trump's Mideast envoy, Steve Witkoff, came up with a different plan in recent days that gives Netanyahu what he wants. And to pressure Hamas into this new deal, Israel's blocked all food, fuel and aid into Gaza for six days now.

Now, countries around the world, aid organizations and several Israeli rights groups say this violates international humanitarian law.

So the main difference is the original deal agreed to would have ended the war now. Basically an agreement to lasting truce. And then all remaining Israeli hostages still alive would be freed over the next six weeks. And Israeli troops would withdraw from Gaza and more Palestinian prisoners would be freed.

In contrast, the Witkoff plan would have Hamas release half the remaining hostages still held in Gaza now. with only the promise to negotiate a lasting end to the war after six weeks. James has not agreed to that, and Netanyahu may decide not to end the war because of pressure from his far-right coalition.

He's in a bind because he has vowed to return all the hostages and eliminate James, but a return to war doesn't guarantee either.

Okay, so you may have heard Trump's idea that everyone in Gaza is going to be displaced to other countries like Egypt and Jordan, and then the U.S. takes over the Gaza Strip somehow, turning it into a world-class real estate development without Palestinians who live there now.
