Board of Peace

During a recent Israeli security cabinet meeting, several ministers called for military action against central Gaza camps if Hamas refuses to disarm.

One source said that funding so far was under $1 billion, but did not provide further details. The Iran war "has affected everything," exacerbating previous funding difficulties, the source said. 

If Hamas, according to Washington, does not understand that it is finished, it will pay the price heavily, along with the rest of the Gazans.

Representatives from the Gaza Board of Peace met with Hamas in Cairo on Friday to discuss amendments to the disarmament proposal.

Hamas conveyed several demands and amendments to the board's plan, including an end to what they call Israeli violations, implementation of all provisions, and IDF withdrawal from Gaza.

The plan follows an eight-month timeline that begins with a US-backed committee of Palestinian technocrats taking security control of Gaza and concludes with Israeli forces withdrawing completely.

The proposal, first reported by NPR, was submitted to Hamas during meetings in Cairo over the past week, one of the sources said.

Addressing the war in Iran, Guterres called for an end to Tehran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz, suggesting the UN could help protect the waterway and be part of a plan to de-escalate attacks.

The weekend meeting is the first publicly reported since the start of the Iran war between the Palestinian terrorist group and the board.

Despite the ongoing conflict with Iran, Trump’s postwar Gaza plan moves forward, with the Board of Peace already issuing tenders for key projects.
