Egypt's plan for post-war Gaza excludes Hamas from future governance

What more are we -- what more are we learning at this point?

PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Becky, we're listening to the leaders of these Arab states speaking at the moment. We've heard from

Egypt, from Jordan, the U.N. Secretary General is there and everybody has unanimously said there will be no displacement of the Palestinian people
 

unanimously [jʊˋnænəməslɪ] adv. 无异议地；全体一致地

displacement [dɪsˋplesmənt] n. 迁移

with this Egyptian proposal goes very much against what we heard from the U.S. president that Palestinians would be moved from Gaza.

They have also said that there will be some kind of a Palestinian committee, it'll be independent, it'll be technocrats who will be advising

on bringing aid in and distributing aid and the reconstruction of Gaza that is temporary, though they don't give an exact time limit. But at some point

that will eventually be handed back to the Palestinian Authority.

So in the Egyptian proposal, the Palestinian Authority will take control of Gaza, which of course means that Hamas will not be part of that plan.

ANDERSON: Hamas would be excluded from any future leadership of Gaza. Then once the war ends, that's a very important word here, once the war ends,

because as we learn more from what is going on in Cairo with Arab leaders meeting at an emergency summit.

So there is an enormous amount of uncertainty about what happens next in Gaza short term.

And whether this temporary truce will be extended or whether the Palestinians will get an opportunity to get into a sort of, you know, long

term ceasefire, permanent ceasefire, which of course we have to consider the hostages who are left there, the aid that at present is blockaded. So

what are we learning?

HANCOCKS: So one Israeli official tells CNN that the next 48 to 72 hours are key, saying that at this point returning to a state of war, returning

to military action in Gaza is one of the options that is on the table. At this point, Israel is saying that it wants to extend this temporary

ceasefire another 42 days. They want all of the hostages to be released within that time along with Palestinian prisoners. When Hamas rejected that

is when they stopped all the humanitarian aid going in.

But of course come across a lot of backlash from NGOs, from the humanitarian aid groups who were there from other countries around this

region, Egypt, Qatar, two key mediators when it comes to this ceasefire deal, saying you can't use humanitarian aid as a war -- a weapon of war. So

that has come against some backlash.

So far Israel has said that this extension of phase one, so continue the temporary ceasefire is the U.S. Trump administration's idea. They haven't

confirmed that. But this is what Israel is saying at this point. And we know that the Middle East envoy for Donald Trump, Steve Witkoff is coming

back in the next few days according to the State Department.

So it's very much up in the air at this point, exactly how it's going to play out. But Israel is making it very clear that the prospect of going

back to a full on war has not been taken off the table. In fact, it is one of the options being considered.

ANDERSON: And this of course, Steve Wyckoff is the Donald Trump's envoy to Gaza. This framework being described certainly by the Israelis as a

mediation proposal because at the moment it is impossible to bridge the gaps between us, and as they describe Hamas, the murderous terror

organization regarding Phase B or Phase 2.
