  "account": "Abu Dhabi's high representative for Gaza under the US-backed Board of Peace, Nickolay Mladenov, declared on Monday that escalating violence in the West Bank and the Israeli army's control over more than half of Gaza make a two-state solution practically unattainable. Mladenov stated that if Gaza fails to adhere to the October ceasefire plan, achieving a political resolution becomes highly improbable. He emphasized the necessity of implementing transitional governance, disarming Hamas, and withdrawing Israeli forces from Gaza. The US-backed roadmap demands Hamas surrender its weapons to an International Stabilization Force for supervision. Despite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's skepticism, US President Donald Trump endorsed the plan as a significant breakthrough. Meanwhile, Hamas urged Mladenov to push for reconstruction and compliance with the agreement. US envoy Jared Kushner suggested that Israeli leaders might be \"irrational\" due to the approaching elections, signaling a willingness to work through the situation, acknowledging the militarization of Gaza as a daunting challenge.",
  "summary": "A top Board of Peace official warned that if Gaza's current trajectory continues without implementing the US-backed comprehensive plan, a two-state solution could become practically impossible.",
