The Chief Envoy of the Peace Council: If We Do Not Advance to Phase B of Trump's Plan, We Will Return to War

The chief envoy of the Peace Council, Nikolai Mladenov, warned at the Munich Security Conference that without progress on Trump's plan, the region may face renewed conflict.

Nikolai Mladenov, the chief envoy of the Peace Council, delivered a speech at the Munich Security Conference highlighting the urgent need for a managed transition in Gaza by an interim authority, in line with a UN Security Council resolution. Mladenov emphasized that the interim authority should gain full civilian and security control over Gaza, which hinges on the disarmament of all Palestinian factions holding weapons, not just Hamas. He pointed out that this disarmament is critical for Israel to withdraw from its positions and to initiate the reconstruction of the region.

Moreover, Mladenov asserted that the ceasefire violations must cease to empower the technocratic committee to gain control over Gaza. He called for a significant increase in humanitarian aid to the region, stressing the necessity for the entry of aid supplies, such as caravans, which are currently blocked by Israel. The envoy's statements underscore the precarious situation in Gaza and the challenges in achieving stability and peace in the region, with the persistent threat of returning to armed conflict looming.

This warning comes amid ongoing tensions and difficulties in the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, indicating that without decisive actions and international support, the fragile ceasefire could collapse. The implications of Mladenov's message could resonate widely, affecting not only local communities but also international diplomatic efforts aimed at resolving the long-standing conflict, making the situation in Gaza a focal point of global attention once again.
