Gaza (TDI): The Board of Peace has urged Israel and Hamas to fulfil their obligations under the agreed Gaza ceasefire framework, warning that further progress will depend on both sides complying with the terms of the agreement.
“Continued progress towards implementation in full depends on each side fulfilling its obligations under the agreed framework,” the board said in a statement on X on Monday.
The statement followed a meeting between the board’s lead envoy for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
According to the board, the meeting focused on the process of decommissioning weapons in Gaza, facilitating a transition to civilian governance and creating what it described as “a safer future” for Israelis and Palestinians in the enclave.
“The meeting was constructive and detailed. Israel and the Board of Peace share a common understanding of the ultimate objectives,” the statement said.

The board said the ultimate goal was the complete decommissioning of weapons in Gaza and a transition from rule by armed groups to civilian governance.
It added that achieving the objective would be a process, with the details to be outlined during the next phase of implementation.
The board also rejected reports suggesting that Israeli forces would fully withdraw beyond the Yellow Line before the decommissioning of weapons is completed.
It said the full withdrawal of the Israeli military beyond the Yellow Line would take place only after the decommissioning process is complete, as Hamas had committed to in its agreement with mediators.
The commitment applies to light and heavy weapons as well as tunnels, according to the statement. Implementation of the framework will be overseen by the International Stabilization Force and the Implementation Verification Committee, which includes representatives from the United States and the Board of Peace.

The proposed framework covers security, administrative and transitional arrangements in Gaza, as well as a potential political track for the territory’s future.
