Trump board reassures Israel after objections on Gaza pullout
Nickolay Mladenov, the high representative for Gaza under the Board of Peace, met with Netanyahu on Monday for what he acknowledged was difficult work. But the board said it had reached a 'common understanding of the shared objectives' with Israel.
US President Donald Trump's Board of Peace met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday to address concerns over a Gaza pullout. According to the Board, they reached a "common understanding of the shared objectives" with Israel.
The meeting came after Netanyahu's office raised concerns to the US over the deal, which was championed by Trump. Two members of Netanyahu's security cabinet had urged a vote to tear up the agreement.
The Board of Peace stated that Israel's withdrawal from Gaza would only begin after Hamas's complete disarmament, as committed to the mediators. Israel would maintain control of much of Gaza under a Trump-led October ceasefire, even if it withdraws under the plan.
