Official leading Trump’s Gaza ceasefire effort criticizes Israel for its attacks

Mladenov said Hamas has accepted disarmament terms, but warned Israel’s strikes could return Gaza to war and erase rebuilding prospects.

  • On Wednesday, Nikolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace high representative, criticized Israel's recent Gaza operations during a U.N. Security Council address, warning that if the roadmap fails, "the next war" is already on the horizon.
  • President Donald Trump's 20-point plan aims to establish a "credible pathway to a political horizon," though Mladenov met with Benjamin Netanyahu and Jared Kushner last week to address ongoing technical concerns.
  • Assessments indicate Hamas retains significant capabilities, including collecting up to $100 million in taxes on goods entering Gaza and adding about 12,000 recruits to replenish ranks depleted during the war.
  • During a Tuesday tour, Gen. Eyal Zamir stated the military will not ease its campaign before demilitarizing the Gaza Strip, asserting the IDF will not return to the status quo of October 6.
  • Mladenov emphasized a binary choice: a disarmed, rebuilt Gaza reconnected to the world, or a radicalized area left in rubble, warning the process risks total breakdown without political will.
