Gazan Board of Peace

Sources close to Hamas say the terrorist group has yet to start talks on disarming, a move that is meant to precede the start of rebuilding Gaza's destroyed cities.

Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, say they will not release billions in rebuilding aid until Hamas disarms and enforceable security guarantees are in place.

The document outlines how officials affiliated with Hamas must act before the establishment of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG).

Statements from NCAG and Nickolay Mladenov came after Israeli strikes and Hamas tunnel activity raised concerns over ceasefire violations.

The top military officer at the CMCC is expected to be replaced by a commander of lower rank, while the top civilian has returned has returned to his job as US ambassador to Yemen.

It is unclear why it was necessary to construct such a complex structure to address Gaza’s well-known fundamental problems.

The question Israelis must face is how to ensure that Gaza turns around and becomes a place of peace.

This idea would seem to be an obvious non-starter for how to proceed in Gaza, especially as Israel and the Trump administration want to see Hamas disarmed.

Regional expectations are growing that the Rafah crossing will reopen this week, but doubts remain over how fully Israel will allow movement, as the ceasefire enters a critical stage.

The country’s largest opposition party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) said in a statement that it does not accept the Pakistani government’s decision to join the organization.
