Board of Peace Gaza point man Nickolay Mladenov says he had a “positive and substantive discussion” today with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the path ahead in Gaza.

“We all reaffirmed our commitment to the full implementation of [US] President [Donald] Trump’s 20-Point Comprehensive Plan,” he says.

“Working with all sides to turn commitment into concrete actions,” Mladenov writes on X. “This will require decisions for progress. We keep moving forward in the interest of a better future for Israelis and Palestinians.”
