Hamas's attacks on the Board of Peace signal not a routine diplomatic disagreement but a warning that the group has no intention of quietly disappearing from Gaza's political or military landscape.

The Board of Peace released its 15-point roadmap on July 31 after President Donald Trump announced that Hamas had accepted a disarmament framework.

The assumption that the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza or ISF would be able to prevent terrorists from regaining control over the stored weapons is totally misleading.

'The withdrawal of the IDF beyond the Yellow Line will take place only once decommissioning is complete,' the statement said.

Israeli officials have reiterated that there will be no further Israeli withdrawal until Hamas is fully and verifiably disarmed.

Israeli forces carried out more than 10 strikes across the Gaza Strip since midnight Sunday, with at least 18 people reportedly killed.

'The threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will NOT be allowed to rebuild,' Trump wrote.

The transfer of weapons would begin within weeks, with the arms stored under the supervision of a multinational force.

Morocco carries no Hamas relationship to protect and no mediator role to balance.

At the center of Mladenov's proposal is an astonishing assumption.

The Board of Peace will not hold Israel to the terms of the ceasefire if Hamas again rejects the proposed disarmament framework.

There is something deeply misguided – if not outright dangerous – about the idea that the US or other international parties should beg Hamas to lay down its weapons.

'We were attacked,' Minister Ze'ev Elkin noted, referencing the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas-led cross-border terrorist invasion from the Gaza Strip: 'There is no reason for us to pay for the reconstruction.'

Israel was represented at the event by Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar, who stood alongside Qatar’s prime minister.

Despite Israel’s formal accession, Prime Minister Netanyahu will not travel to Washington for the February 19 Board of Peace meeting.

'We have peace in the Middle East, no one thought that was possible,' Trump proclaimed.
