As thousands of displaced Palestinians return to northern Gaza following Israel’s military withdrawal, Israeli officials debate the long-term security implications. The withdrawal was part of a ceasefire agreement reached earlier this month between Israel and Hamas.

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa said his government plans to rebuild Gaza with help from the US and Saudi Arabia, a process he said would reshape the Middle East and require the removal of Hamas from power and Israel from the ground.

A Qatari official has told Newsweek that the country at the center of the recently established ceasefire agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement will support President Donald Trump in pushing both sides to adhere to the truce.
