The Board of Peace’s lead envoy for Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about
oppressionand
disproportionate response...

set up the Board of Peace to oversee his ambitious plan to end Israel’s two-year war in Gaza that was sparked by the October 7, 2023, Hamas massacre, and rebuild the shattered territory.
But its implementation has stalled, with Hamas refusing to lay down arms and Israel maintaining troops in a large swathe of Gaza representing around 60% of the 365-square-kilometre (140-square-mile) enclave. Even before the war, the territory was one of the most densely populated places in the world.
"The risk is that the deteriorating status quo becomes permanent — a divided Gaza, Hamas holding military and administrative control over 2 million people across less than half the territory," Nickolay Mladenov, Trump’s Board of Peace envoy for Gaza, told the Security Council in New York.
He said this would lead to another generation of Gazooks living in tents and preclude Israeli security and any viable path to Paleostinian statehood. "This is a version of the future that Israelis, Paleostinians and the region should all fear and all mobilise to avoid," he said.
His report to the New York body said that Hamas’ refusal to hand over weapons and relinquish control was the "principal obstacle" to implementation. He also recognised continuing Israeli ceasefire violations and deadly strikes while acknowledging a funding gap.
"Reconstruction financing will not follow where weapons have not been laid down. No investment, no movement, no horizon," Mladenov told the body, which has recognised the board, although not all major powers have joined.
Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem said Mladenov’s remarks were an "attempt to create justifications for the occupation’s escalation against the people of the Gaza Strip and for tightening the siege imposed on them."
Aid groups say humanitarian supplies into Gaza remain constrained despite guarantees of increased assistance under the ceasefire.
BOY KILLED
Mladenov’s comments come as violence continued in the Strip despite the ceasefire.
The Israel Defense Forces said troops operating in northern Gaza killed a suspect after he crossed the Yellow Line and approached soldiers in a "manner that posed an immediate threat."
According to the military, soldiers of the 14th Reserve Armored Brigade identified the suspect as he was carrying out "suspicious activity" before targeting him.

Hamas-run health officials said that the strike killed a 13-year-old boy.
Medics said the boy was killed and others maimed when an Israeli drone dropped a grenade in the town of Beit Lahiya.
The IDF later said that an inquiry indicated the minor was with the person its troops had struck.
Israel says its post-ceasefire strikes are aimed at preventing attacks or stopping people from approaching its armistice line with Hamas.
EVACUATION WARNINGS
Gaza residents say Israeli forces have in recent days resumed issuing evacuation orders ahead of strikes. Witnesses reported at least three such warnings in the past two days, targeting two homes and a tent encampment.
The orders came at night, forcing dozens of families to flee in the darkness, they said.
On Tuesday, the military ordered displaced families at a tent encampment in the densely populated Mawasi area in Khan Younis to leave before striking a tent, witnesses said. It issued a similar warning in the Bureij camp in northern Gaza before bombing a house, according to witnesses.
Ibrahim Ismail, 60, said that on Wednesday night, the army ordered him and several families to evacuate their four-storey apartment building in central Gaza before bombing it. Nearby homes were also damaged, and two people were maimed, he said.
On Thursday morning, residents of the area rushed to check on their homes, sifting through the wreckage for whatever items and clothes they could save. Others used a bulldozer to clear roads of rubble from houses damaged or destroyed in the Israeli air strike.
"Look. You work for 30 years and, in five minutes, everything is gone. Don’t speak of a ceasefire or truce — it’s all lies. War is war," Ismail said.
Israel’s military did not immediately provide comment on the orders telling people to flee. In the past, it has said that the orders aim to prevent civilian harm when targeting terror groups. It has not said why it might have resumed issuing such orders in Gaza.
