Kallas cautiously endorses Trump-backed Gaza peace proposal

The proposal, unveiled by U.S. President Donald Trump, envisions the disarmament of Hamas and other armed factions in the region. Kallas emphasized that while the EU stands ready to support the transition, the path forward remains complex. She specifically noted that the eventual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza remains a critical component for long-term stability.

Despite the diplomatic overture, significant questions persist regarding the actual buy-in from the primary actors on the ground. It remains unclear to what extent Hamas or the Israeli government have formally endorsed the specific framework outlined by the U.S. administration. Kallas acknowledged these hurdles, highlighting that monitoring compliance will be a substantial challenge for international observers.
