Board of Peace Source Says Gaza Roadmap Efforts Continue Ahead of Israel’s Election
Published
An unnamed Board of Peace source said efforts to advance the Gaza roadmap were continuing, rejecting suggestions that the body was stepping back. The source told diplomatic correspondent Guy Azriel that negotiations and implementation work take place daily without every step being publicly announced. The Board was choosing carefully when to act and speak ahead of Israel’s election later this month, the source said. Its goals included bringing the Palestinian technocratic administration into Gaza, starting demilitarization and transferring authority, but no timetable was supplied. The remarks followed an Israeli security source’s account of continued operations against Hamas infrastructure and efforts to prevent its rebuilding.
