The Board of Peace’s top envoy to Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, announces that mediating countries — the United States, Qatar, Egypt and Turkey — have agreed on a “framework” for the reconstruction of Gaza while advancing Palestinian political unity as well as “a negotiated resolution of the Palestinian question.”
“It is now on the table. It requires one clear choice: full decommissioning by Hamas and every armed group, with no exceptions and no carve-outs,” Mladenov tweets. “In this season of hope, may those responsible make the right choice for the Palestinian people.”
“As the blessed days of Eid al-Fitr are upon us, serious efforts persist to chart a hopeful path for Gaza,” he adds.
While the ongoing Iran war has slowed the momentum of US President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, Mladenov’s announcement indicates that the Board of Peace is not waiting to advance its Gaza reconstruction plan.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
