Board of Peace: Hamas agreed to ‘actionable plan for relinquishing all its weapons, followed by Israeli withdrawal from Gaza’

The Board of Peace confirms that Hamas has agreed to a roadmap for decommissioning its weapons in order to advance the ceasefire inked in Gaza last year.

“For the first time, Hamas officially has committed to an actionable plan for relinquishing all its weapons, which will be followed by Israeli withdrawal from Gaza,” the US-controlled Board of Peace says in a statement.

“It holds the promise of delivering significant benefits to the people of Gaza, who have waited for too long for a better future, and security to the people of Israel,” the panel says.

“Our focus now turns to implementation. The Board of Peace has worked closely with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). It will soon begin a phased transition toward full authority, backed by the International Stabilization Force (ISF), and will accelerate implementation of the rule of law, security, and humanitarian improvement in Gaza.”

“Ahead of us is a Gaza rebuilt, governed by Palestinians and at peace with Israel an a political horizon to a meaningful resolution the Israeli Palestinian conflict,” adds the Board of Peace’s High Representative for Gaza Nickolay Mladenov in a statement of his own.
