Board of Peace calls on Israel, Hamas to fulfil Gaza ceasefire obligations

The Board of Peace has urged Israel and Hamas to fulfil their obligations under the agreed Gaza ceasefire framework, saying further progress depends on compliance by both sides.

“Continued progress towards implementation in full depends on each side fulfilling its obligations under the agreed framework,” the board said in a statement on X on Monday.

The statement followed a meeting between the board’s lead envoy for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The meeting was held as part of the process of decommissioning weapons in Gaza, facilitating a transition to civilian governance and creating “a safer future in the region for both Israelis and Palestinians in Gaza,” the board said.

“The meeting was constructive and detailed. Israel and the Board of Peace share a common understanding of the ultimate objectives,” it added. “The goal is clear and is not in question: the complete decommissioning of weapons in Gaza and the transition away from rule by the gun to civilian governance.”
