VOA: Donald Trump administration's plans to end the war in Gaza!

President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to end the war in the Gaza Strip very soon, while warning that 'the situation will become chaotic' if Hamas does not release the hostages by January 20, the day he officially takes office.

VOA White House Correspondent Patsy Widakuswara looks at the possibilities for achieving peace as President Biden's administration seeks to reach a ceasefire agreement.

Unspeakable suffering over the past 14 months, as Israel continues its military operation in Gaza, in retaliation for the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023.

Dozens of people, including Americans, are still being held hostage by the group that the United States has declared a terrorist organization.

President-elect Donald Trump has warned that if the hostages are not released before he takes office on January 20, the response will be devastating.

"They have to figure out for themselves what this means, but one thing is for sure, it won't be anything good,"  he said.

Mr. Trump has taken credit for reaching a ceasefire last month between Israel and Hezbollah in Lebanon, which was brokered by the United States and France.

But his plans for the Gaza Strip are unclear.

"President Trump may have some resources to increase military pressure on Hamas. I don't think it will be any more severe than the Israeli operation over the last 14 months. But there may be another element, although I hope it won't be this approach, to cut off some of the humanitarian aid,"  says Ahmed Fouad Alkhatib of the Atlantic Council.

Meanwhile, the current administration is seeking increased humanitarian aid to Gaza and is committed until President Biden's last day in the White House to achieving a ceasefire, said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

"Gaza must be transformed into a place where Hamas is guaranteed not to be in control, nor is Israel, to enable the governance, security and reconstruction of Gaza ," Mr. Blinken said.

This goal is still unattainable, despite Washington's diplomatic efforts with Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar.

Analysts say a ceasefire remains uncertain, whether before or after Mr. Trump's inauguration in January. But the transition period is seen by both sides as a moment of opportunity, national security adviser Jake Sullivan said Wednesday.

"It is important for us that both the outgoing Biden administration and the new Trump administration show our strength, work more closely than usual to ensure that we are sending a clear and common message to friends and all parties in the Middle East,"  says Mr. Sullivan.

The common message from both leaders is that the United States wants the conflict to end. So far, those calls have gone unheeded by either side./VOA
