A delegation of Board of Peace officials held another briefing for US Congressional staffers of both parties on Monday to update them on the US-led panel’s efforts to advance the disarmament of Hamas.
Board of Peace senior adviser Josh Gruenbaum and security lead Gen. (ret.) Mark Schwartz “emphasized the determination to work with Congress in a bipartisan manner to advance peace, security, governance, and reconstruction in Gaza,” a Board of Peace official says.
National security advisers for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries participated in the briefing.
