Hamas doesn’t call the shots

The Board of Peace recently reported new progress, with Kosovo's Ambassador to Israel, Ines Demiri, visiting the Life Support Area Endurance on the Gazan border. This area is designated as a vital waypoint for the International Stabilization Force (ISF), which is slated for deployment in Gaza. Kosovo is among the nations contributing to the ISF, underscoring international involvement in the stabilization efforts.

Meanwhile, reports from London-based newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat indicate potential positive signs from recent Gaza talks. Sources from the team of Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov and Hamas separately described the mood around meetings in Cairo as "positive." These meetings involved Hamas, mediator states Egypt, Qatar, and Turkiye, focusing on a roadmap for a ceasefire. While Hamas control in Gaza has diminished, concerns remain about their potential non-cooperation on disarmament, despite the "positive" signals from the diplomatic discussions.
