Sources: 3. Developments: 2. A ceasefire agreement regarding the second phase of hostilities in Gaza was announced, described by former U.S. President Donald Trump as a historic step toward peace. The plan includes the disarmament of Hamas, the withdrawal of Israeli forces, and the establishment of a transitional Palestinian administration supported by an international stabilization force. The Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) welcomed the agreement but emphasized the need for full implementation to ensure a permanent end to hostilities. Simultaneously, concerns were raised regarding escalating tensions in the West Bank, specifically involving settlement expansion and settler-linked violence. Following these developments, Jordan and China issued a joint statement calling for a permanent ceasefire and the unhindered delivery of humanitarian aid. The two nations stressed that future arrangements must ensure Palestinian self-governance and the unity of the West Bank and Gaza, reaffirming the two-state solution based on 1967 borders. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-24: Jordan and China call for Gaza ceasefire and maritime stability Jordan and China issued a joint statement calling for a Gaza ceasefire, Palestinian self-governance, and the restoration of normal navigation in the Strait of Hormuz during King Abdullah II’s visit to Beijing. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/jordan-and-china-call-for-gaza-ceasefire-and-maritime-stability ### 2026-08-01: Gaza Ceasefire Agreement Welcomed by PLO Amid Jordanian Crown Prince Warning The PLO welcomed a Gaza ceasefire agreement calling for Israeli withdrawal and Hamas disarmament, while Jordan’s Crown Prince warned of West Bank escalation and urged de‑escalation. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/gaza-ceasefire-agreement-welcomed-by-plo-amid-jordanian-crown-prince-warning --- Cite as: Gaza ceasefire and Palestinian governance negotiations.
