The U.S.-led Gaza Peace Council (Board of Peace) issued an official statement Friday afternoon calling on Israel to cease all security operations in the Gaza Strip. The statement reaffirms all parties' commitment to President Trump's comprehensive peace plan and specifies that Israel must complete its remaining obligations under the Shafaa al-Shaykh protocol, particularly the cessation of military operations, after which Hamas and Palestinian factions will also cease operations. The process is described as leading to the establishment of a technocratic Palestinian administration in Gaza.
The Board of Peace (Gaza Peace Council) issued an official statement Friday afternoon calling on Israel to cease all security operations in the Gaza Strip. The statement, which the Council released publicly, reaffirms the commitment of all parties to President Trump's comprehensive peace plan.
Specifically, the statement demands that Israel 'complete fully, without delay, all remaining commitments under the Shafaa al-Shaykh protocol, especially the cessation of military operations.' Following Israel's compliance, the statement says, Hamas and other Palestinian factions will complete their cessation of military operations. The process is described as leading to the establishment of a technocratic Palestinian administration in Gaza, effectively replacing Hamas's governance.
The call comes hours after the Board of Peace confirmed the formal disarmament roadmap earlier this afternoon, as The Zioneer reported. That roadmap outlined a phased weapons handover synchronized with an Israeli withdrawal. The new statement appears to prioritize the cessation of Israeli operations as the immediate next step, shifting the onus onto Jerusalem. The Israeli government has not yet issued a formal response.
