Board of Peace's Gaza envoy criticises Israeli strikes and Hamas actions

Key Points:

• A senior official from US President Trump's Board of Peace criticized both Israel's ongoing air strikes on Gaza and Hamas's actions during a UN Security Council meeting.
• Israel rejected the Board of Peace's 15-point roadmap for Hamas's disarmament, insisting Hamas must fully disarm before any Israeli troop withdrawal, while Hamas agreed to phased disarmament in exchange for phased withdrawal.
• Since the US-brokered ceasefire began, at least 1,303 Palestinians, including 300 children, have been killed in Israeli attacks, with Israel reporting four soldier casualties from Palestinian attacks.
• The Board of Peace's representative highlighted ongoing violence undermining the ceasefire and emphasized that Israeli withdrawal would only occur after verified decommissioning of Hamas weapons, aligning the plan more closely with Israel's demands.
• UN and Israeli officials warned that collapse of the ceasefire would destroy prospects for peace, governance, and reconstruction in Gaza.
