The so-called Gaza Board of Peace will not wait for Hamas's response to a disarmament proposal, a source told The Jerusalem Post. Short-term initiatives will continue to be advanced in areas of Gaza not under Hamas control, according to the report.
A source familiar with the matter told The Jerusalem Post that the Gaza Board of Peace — a body described as operating independently of Hamas — will not suspend its activities while waiting for the terror group's response to a disarmament proposal. Instead, short-term initiatives will proceed in areas of the Gaza Strip not under Hamas control.
The development comes against the backdrop of the Trump administration's framework for Gaza, which includes a demand for Hamas to disarm. As The Zioneer reported on June 9, Israel's COGAT told Gaza residents that Hamas was blocking their future by rejecting that framework. A Hamas official reiterated on June 5 the group's demand for a full ceasefire and Israeli withdrawal before any deal.
The Board of Peace's independence from Hamas, and its ability to operate in territory not held by the group, underscores the fragmentation of governance in the Strip. No timeline for the proposed initiatives or details on their scope were provided by the source. The report relies on a single anonymous source and has not been independently verified.
