At a meeting on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, the board unveiled a 66-project blueprint aimed at addressing infrastructure, education, and health initiatives. The projects are designed to support Trump's 20-point plan to end the Israel-Hamas war. According to TimesLIVE and PBS, the board acknowledged enormous hurdles that must still be overcome.
The ceasefire, which took effect on October 10, was meant to clear the way for a broader process to rebuild Gaza under the guidance of the Board of Peace. However, as reported by both TimesLIVE and PBS, the plan has largely stalled. While the ceasefire halted the heaviest fighting and improved humanitarian conditions, the Israeli military now occupies about 60% of Gaza. Hamas has not disarmed, and reconstruction has not begun.
The board’s high representative, Nikolay Mladenov, stated that progress hinges largely on Hamas disarming—a step the group has refused to take. He also pressed Israel to scale back its military operation. According to TimesLIVE, US Gen Jasper Jeffers outlined a five-step approach to demilitarizing Hamas, involving troops from Kosovo, Morocco, Albania, and Kazakhstan.
Meanwhile, French President Emmanuel Macron criticized Trump’s Gaza diplomacy as a 'spectacle of shame,' noting that not a single humanitarian corridor had been reopened in the enclave despite the proclaimed peace. As reported by TimesLIVE and Al Jazeera, Macron's remarks came during his final address to the UN before leaving office next May.
