Rejecting Gaza ‘Board of Peace’
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad Movement has denounced a so-called Board of Peace for Gaza proposed by Washington to oversee the start of the phase two of the ceasefire in the Palestinian territory. The Palestinian movement said the composition of the Board of Peace only serves the interests of the Israeli regime. The movement said it had been committed to the ceasefire agreement in the first phase and is ready for implementation of its second phase despite the regime’s violations. However, it said the formation of the Board indicates the negative intentions regarding the implementation of the agreement. On Friday, the White House unveiled the board as part of phase two of the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. Among the individuals are the US secretary of state Marco Rubio, Special envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner.
