An official from the Board of Peace, Nikolay Mladenov, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss a new disarmament deal with Hamas for Gaza's postwar transition. The deal aims for the complete decommissioning of weapons and a shift to civilian governance. Mladenov also urged Israel to halt strikes in Gaza, which have continued despite a broader ceasefire agreement announced by the U.S. and mediated by Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. Hamas has affirmed its commitment to the ceasefire's second phase, while Israel has expressed 'serious security concerns' and ramped up strikes. Mediators have denounced Israeli actions, citing violations of international law and humanitarian law.
