Overview
- On Thursday, Board of Peace high representative Nickolay Mladenov published a detailed 15‑point roadmap to enforce UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and sequence Gaza’s security handover, an international stabilisation force, a technocratic interim administration and reconstruction.
- The roadmap makes phased Israeli withdrawals and large‑scale rebuilding contingent on verified, time‑bound decommissioning of Hamas weapons, a condition officials say Hamas has refused and which has frozen further steps.
- Israeli forces continue to control roughly half to 60 percent of Gaza, leaving more than two million people crowded into a smaller area and blocking the territorial handover envisaged by the plan.
- Humanitarian agencies and UN briefers report catastrophic needs, with aid deliveries far below the plan’s target of about 600 aid trucks per day, critical supplies and reconstruction materials restricted, and major donor pledges slow to be disbursed.
- International actors including the United Kingdom and multiple UN envoys urged the Security Council to press both sides to comply and enforce the roadmap because failure risks a permanently divided Gaza, prolonged displacement and further collapse of services for civilians.
