Board of Peace will ask the UN Security Council to press Hamas to disarm
The report says reconstruction and a phased Israeli withdrawal depend on verified Hamas disarmament, with $17 billion already pledged for Gaza.
- The Board of Peace, established by President Donald Trump, will ask the United Nations Security Council on Thursday to press Hamas to disarm, according to a report seen by The Associated Press on Tuesday.
- Deadlock over disarming Hamas has paralyzed progress in the ceasefire that took effect in October, with former U.N. Mideast envoy Nickolay Mladenov citing the group's refusal to relinquish weapons as the central obstacle.
- Rejecting the report as containing "fallacies," Hamas argued that Israel has failed to "uphold the majority of its commitments," specifically citing continued restrictions on crossings into Palestinian territory.
- Rebuilding cannot commence until weapons are laid down, despite $17 billion in pledged funds, while living conditions for most of the territory's 2 million people remain dire in tent camps.
- To advance the ceasefire, the report recommends the Security Council reiterate disarmament as a condition for progress, pressure Hamas to accept the roadmap, enable the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza entry, and accelerate fund transfers.
