Board of Peace is considering abandoning its phased framework for Hamas’s disarmament amid Israeli pushback to the US-controlled body’s original plan, a source directly familiar with the negotiations told The Times of Israel on Monday

"Instead of having Hamas hand over weapons in phases, with Israel conducting corresponding withdrawals, source said another option being weighed by BoP would see Hamas hand over all of its weapons throughout Gaza & only then would IDF have to pull back troops to Gaza border". "While the shift could be enough to get Israel on board, it risks losing the support of Hamas, after the Board of Peace spent months coaxing the group to accept the phased disarmament plan."
