Board of Peace official says Gaza roadmap faces long, difficult process

A Board of Peace official has stated that implementing the Gaza roadmap will be a long and difficult process. The official expressed that US President Donald Trump's plan offers Palestinians a better future without Hamas rule and provides security for Israelis.

The roadmap has faced setbacks, with Israel's recent strikes in Gaza being condemned by mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey. They stated that Israel's actions undermine the road map and the efforts to implement the second stage of the ceasefire agreement. Hamas and Palestinian factions had announced their acceptance of the road map, which includes disarmament.

Mediators are in contact with the Trump administration to explore the way forward, with one source stating that "US pressure on Israel to show flexibility is the mediators' only hope now." Qatar reported that efforts are continuing among all participants, including the US, to ensure the roadmap's implementation.
