A source involved in ongoing negotiations has indicated that the Board of Peace is reconsidering its strategy for the handover of weapons held by Hamas. The current proposal, which relies on a phased disarmament process, has faced significant pushback from the Israeli government. While Hamas had previously signaled its acceptance of the phased approach, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has formally rejected it, leading the Board of Peace to explore a wholesale disarmament framework instead.

The shift in strategy suggests that international mediators are attempting to bypass the impasse created by the Israeli government’s refusal to accept the initial terms. By moving toward a comprehensive, wholesale plan, the Board of Peace aims to address the security concerns that have stalled the process. However, the move also highlights the growing friction between the international panel and the Israeli leadership, as the panel appears willing to adjust its core strategy to secure a deal despite the Prime Minister's objections. It remains unclear how the Israeli government will respond to this new, more aggressive disarmament proposal or if the Board of Peace has secured any preliminary support for this alternative path.
