Board of Peace Reiterates Gaza Objectives Ahead of UN General Assembly
The U.S.-led body urged parties to honor the ceasefire roadmap and said international support is needed to keep Gaza from returning to conflict.
The Board of Peace, chaired by President Donald Trump, urged all parties on Monday night to fulfill ceasefire commitments ahead of the United Nations General Assembly gathering in New York.
Following a detailed roadmap agreed upon with Hamas on July 30, the board's peace plan aims to consolidate international support for demilitarization, deradicalization, and Palestinian administration.
Since October 8, 2023, Israel's war on Gaza has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and injured over 174,000 others, while around 90% of the enclave's infrastructure has been destroyed.
The Israeli Air Force recently killed Nael Abu Obeid, commander of Hamas's Rafah Brigade, who the military said managed terror attacks and held hostages inside tunnel systems.
World leaders meeting at the UNGA have an opportunity to consolidate the international community behind one agreed framework, demonstrating that diplomacy can deliver lasting peace and security.
