In a Telegram post Tuesday evening, commentator Hananel Aviv argued that the Board of Peace framework is a 'bluff' that restricts Israel while giving Hamas a ceasefire, breathing room, and time to rebuild. He called on Israel to abandon the 21-point plan and complete the mission: conquering the Gaza Strip, dismantling Hamas, and disarming the area.
The post by Hananel Aviv, a commentator on the Israeli right, adds to growing criticism of the Board of Peace framework. As The Zioneer reported on July 31, Israel Hayom analyst Ariel Kahana similarly described the Council's push to halt targeted killings as 'unacceptable.' The Board of Peace, established under the second Trump administration, has been tasked with overseeing a 'zero trust' disarmament process in Gaza, but its implementation has faced repeated obstacles. Aviv argues that the 21-point plan—of which only the hostage release has been implemented—has given Hamas a strategic advantage. He calls for Israel to abandon the framework and pursue a military solution: full conquest of the Strip, dismantling of Hamas, and disarmament. The post reflects a hardening position among some Israeli commentators who view the diplomatic track as a constraint on military action.
