The Board of Peace said Monday that the implementation of the Gaza framework requires Hamas to complete the decommissioning of its weapons before Israeli forces withdraw beyond the Yellow Line, reaffirming a sequencing that mirrors Israel’s longstanding position. This clarification followed a meeting between High Representative Nickolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace delegation, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and their respective teams. The Board of Peace described the discussions as “constructive and detailed,” saying it and Israel remained aligned on the framework’s end goal. The statement said the International Stabilization Force and the Implementation Verification Committee, which includes representatives of the United States and the Board of Peace, will oversee implementation. Israeli officials have consistently maintained that no withdrawal will occur until Hamas has fully demilitarized and surrendered its arsenal.
