UN council urged to use ‘every means at its disposal’ to press Hamas to disarm

Mladenov said continued violence could unravel the ceasefire as humanitarian groups said aid access and conditions for 2 million Palestinians remain inadequate.

  • On Thursday, Nickolay Mladenov urged the Security Council to use "every means at its disposal" to press Hamas to disarm, warning that violence risks "unraveling" the U.S.-brokered ceasefire agreement.
  • Mladenov stated that weapon decommissioning will be "gradual, sequenced and time-bound against an agreed timetable," while Israel's military currently controls some 60% of the Gaza Strip.
  • Jeremy Konyndyk, president of Refugees International, said the "easiest parts" of the peace plan—"full and undeterred aid access"—remain unfulfilled, with humanitarian groups reporting the board's assessment misrepresented ground conditions.
  • Israel's deputy U.N. ambassador Jonathan Miller called diplomacy a "dangerous illusion" while terrorist organizations hold it hostage, as Hamas criticized the report for ignoring Israel's non-compliance with ceasefire terms.
  • Without intervention, Gaza remains divided with over 2 million Palestinians trapped in "desperate conditions," prompting Mladenov to call on Israel to uphold its ceasefire obligations regarding aid and protection.
