Mladenov Assures Israel: Tunnel Dismantling Will Take 10 Years; No Immediate Withdrawal Required

  • On Sunday, Nikolai Mladenov told Amit Segal that the Board of Peace's 15-point roadmap for Gaza aims to ensure the territory "is never again a threat to Israeli security" through full decommissioning, governance transition, and large-scale reconstruction.
  • Dismantling Hamas's tunnel network will take 10 years, and the IDF will not withdraw forces "before we actually have verified steps on the ground," requiring weapons collected sector by sector.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rejected the roadmap, demanding "real disarmament, not fictitious disarmament," and reiterated that Hamas must surrender "heavy weapons, the less heavy weapons, all the weapons."
  • Control of concrete plants near Nahal Oz and Kerem Shalom is shifting from Israel's Defense Ministry to the United States, which will assume management and financing duties for tunnel-sealing operations.
  • This transfer signifies an expanded American role in Gaza, aligning with President Donald Trump's stated focus on overseeing security, reconstruction, and diplomatic arrangements for the territory's postwar future.
