BoP briefed bipartisan US congressional advisers on Trump Gaza plan, senior member tells 'Post'

A delegation from the Board of Peace (BoP) has briefed national security advisers and senior staff from both Republican and Democratic leadership in the US Congress on the implementation of former President Donald Trump's Comprehensive Peace Plan for Gaza. The meeting, held in Washington, aimed to advance peace, security, governance, and reconstruction in the region.

The BoP delegation was led by senior adviser Josh Gruenbaum, with Gen. Mark Schwartz (ret.), the Board’s security lead, participating remotely. The briefing covered current efforts to implement Trump's plan and stressed a commitment to bipartisan cooperation with Congress.

Attendees included national security advisers for key congressional figures such as Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. No further details about the discussions or future engagements were disclosed.

In parallel, Nickolay Mladenov, chief of the BoP and High Representative for Gaza, met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Sources familiar with the matter reported that Mladenov requested an end to IDF strikes against Hamas in Gaza to initiate a "14-day ceasefire." This ceasefire is intended to kickstart the demilitarization of Hamas. A statement released by the BoP described the meeting with Netanyahu as "constructive and detailed," noting a shared understanding of the ultimate objective in Gaza. The Board clarified that an IDF withdrawal from Gaza would only occur after all weapons and military infrastructure are decommissioned.
