Nikolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace's top representative to Gaza, welcomed Israel's decision to approve the limited entry of an International Stabilization Force (ISF), calling it a key step toward implementing the agreed framework for the territory. Mladenov said the force would support stabilization, demilitarization, and the transition to a temporary Palestinian administration under the NCAG. Hamas has so far refused to disarm under President Trump's 20-point Gaza framework, according to Mladenov, while negotiations continue over the plan's remaining components.
Nikolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace's top representative to Gaza, on Monday welcomed Israel's approval of the limited entry of an International Stabilization Force (ISF) into the Strip, calling the move 'a key step toward implementing the agreed framework for the territory.' The statement follows weeks of negotiations over the U.S.-backed Gaza framework, which includes provisions for demilitarization, the establishment of a temporary Palestinian administration, and the eventual reconstruction of the Strip. Mladenov said the force would support stabilization, demilitarization, and the transition to a temporary Palestinian administration under the NCAG (the Non-Governmental Administration for Gaza). He noted that Hamas has so far refused to disarm under President Trump's 20-point framework, and negotiations on the remaining components are ongoing. The announcement comes as the Board of Peace continues efforts to broker a comprehensive agreement between Israel and Palestinian factions. On Sunday, Mladenov had congratulated Israel on the initial approval of the ISF deployment, as The Zioneer reported. The limited entry of the force is seen as a test case for broader deployment once security conditions permit.
