Representatives from US-established committees overseeing postwar Gaza reconstruction plan to meet at a Cyprus resort to get on the same page, following limited results since the board's unveiling in January, the Times of Israel reports.
The US-led 'Board of Peace' for Gaza reconstruction is convening its member representatives at a Cyprus resort to recalibrate strategy after a rocky first six months since being unveiled in January, according to a Times of Israel report.
The board, established by the United States to oversee postwar Gaza reconstruction, includes various committees whose work has so far yielded limited results for Gazans, the report notes. The gathering is meant to align expectations and improve coordination among the committees.
As The Zioneer has previously reported, the Board of Peace has been advancing short-term initiatives in parts of Gaza not under Hamas control, and former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair recently assumed an expanded managerial role. A revised weapons-disposal plan is also reportedly being circulated, though Hamas's response to broader disarmament proposals remains unclear. The Cyprus meeting signals a recognition within the board that the pace of progress needs to accelerate.
