Board of Peace Calls on Israel to Step Up Aid to Gaza

In depth

The Board of Peace is calling on Israel to immediately and significantly increase the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, with an emphasis on winter equipment, following rain and flooding in the Strip. The Board also calls on Hamas to disarm and transfer governance to the Technocratic Committee. In the first statement the Board issued after the flooding, it determined that delays in delivering equipment have worsened the humanitarian crisis.

The Board expressed concern over the severe flooding in the Strip and called for approval of the delivery of winterization equipment, alongside a demand that Hamas disarm. The flooding submerged tens of thousands of tents, and the Board demanded that winter equipment and shelter be delivered immediately.

The Board warned that those who fail to meet their commitments will face consequences. A few days after Tony Blair's meeting with President Herzog, the Board issued a sharp statement in which it determined that delays in approvals have worsened the humanitarian crisis. Herzog called for advancing Trump's plan for Gaza.
