Board of Peace seeks UN pressure on Hamas disarmamentHamas disarmament
The Board of Peace said it will ask the UN Security Council to press Hamas to disarm as part of the Gaza ceasefire process, according to reports published on May 19 and 20.
The plan also calls for Israel to meet its ceasefire commitments, including ending attacks in Gaza, highlighting how fragile the deal remains. The push matters because the next phase of the agreement depends on both sides taking steps that could shape the future of the war.
Board of Peace
The Board of Peace presents Hamas disarmament as the key condition for moving the ceasefire plan forward. It says the agreement cannot advance unless armed groups in Gaza decommission their weapons and related structures.
Palestinian side
The Palestinian position in the reporting focuses on Israel's obligations under the ceasefire's first phase. It argues that ending daily violence in Gaza is necessary before any deeper political or security steps can work.
International mediators
The mediation effort frames the ceasefire as a staged process that depends on mutual compliance. From this view, UN Security Council backing could add pressure and help prevent the deal from collapsing.
- The UN Security Council can act even when members disagree, but veto politics often limit what it can do.
- Ceasefire agreements in the Israel-Palestinian conflict have often used phased steps because immediate final deals are difficult to secure.
- Gaza borders both Israel and Egypt, giving neighboring states a direct role in any long-term arrangement.
