Reef BrelandHostNearly a year after Donald Trump announced the creation of the Board of Peace, which was ostensibly charged with ending Israel's genocidal assault on Gaza and overseeing reconstruction, one
involved in the body has warned that a complete will collapse of the so-called ceasefire in Gaza could lead to a point of no return.
Nicolay Mladenov, I guess that's how you say it, the Bulgarian diplomat who serves as Gaza's high representative on the Board of Peace, made the comments during a UN Security Council session on Wednesday, August 26.
Casualty numbers in Gaza have dropped, he noted, but have not ceased, offering a pointed critique of Israel's continued bombardment despite the supposed cessation of hostilities.
If this ceasefire collapses and the strip spirals into another full escalation, there will be no roadmap to return to, there will be no administration to deploy, and there will be nothing left on the ground to rebuild, he said.
In his remarks, Mladenov also noted that Hamas and armed factions in the Gaza Strip have agreed to disarm and transfer civilian and security responsibilities to a transitional authority recognized by the United Nations.
Malinov announced, which is part of a plan for a new phase of the ceasefire in Gaza.
The roadmap also includes the dismantling of all weapons in the Strip and its demilitarization, subject to verification and monitoring, the complete transfer of civilian and security governance in Gaza, the reconstruction of destroyed areas so people can return to normal life, and a gradual Israeli withdrawal from Gaza tied to progress in disarmament.
The full implementation of this 15-point comprehensive plan, which Matanoff had outlined to the Council earlier this year, will provide an opportunity to dramatically improve the lives of Palestinians in Gaza in a sustainable way, provide durable security for Israelis, and move from a conflict, it's not a conflict, that has destabilized the region towards an environment that provides peace, prosperity, and economic opportunities for the entire Middle East.
In displacement camps, Gazian gathered to discuss the details of the roadmap, and the extent to which it might improve the horrific conditions they endured in overcrowded and flimsy tents deprived of even the basic necessities of life.
concentrated in only about 30% of the Gaza Strip have been left so desperate that we scan news headlines for any indication of a possible end to our suffering.
For many, their renewed interest in the Board of Peace plan became a lifeline they could cling to, hoping for a chance to live in peace, rebuild their destroyed lives, and return to areas now controlled by Israel beyond the so-called yellow line.
However, Mladenov's announcement has been met with statements from Israeli officials that contradict the Board of Peace's vision for Gaza's future and reflect their unwillingness to withdraw from areas under Israeli control.
Before Mladenov's address, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Enyahu had already said he would reject the plan, despite the roadmap's connection to U.S. President Donald Trump.
During a September 2nd visit to Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, Netanyahu also said he had no plans to withdraw from territory under Israeli control.
We are staying along this line and we control more than 60% of the Strip and there's more still to come, he said, stressing that military operations against those he described as threatening Israel's security would continue.
Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz also confirmed in a statement on September 1st that Israeli troops will remain inside the Gaza Strip even after Hamas is disarmed and Gaza is demilitarized.
Moreover, at a September 2nd conference hosted by the Israeli news outlet Yedoyf Aronoff, Katz described a plan to remove Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to other countries, which some Israeli officials falsely described as voluntary immigration.
