Board of Peace to Urge UN Security Council to Press Hamas on Disarmament

The Board of Peace, an international body established by U.S. President Donald Trump to oversee the Gaza ceasefire, will request the United Nations Security Council to urge Hamas to disarm, according to a report. The report identifies Hamas' refusal to disarm and relinquish control as the main obstacle to implementing the ceasefire, which has stalled since October. Hamas rejected the report, calling it fallacious. The ceasefire plan includes Israeli withdrawal, a new Palestinian government, international security deployment, and Gaza reconstruction.
