A senior official from President Trump's "Board of Peace," Nickolay Mladenov, met with Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya in Cairo last week to discuss disarmament. The meeting occurred amid concerns that the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas could collapse. The Board of Peace, a new international body, is developing a demilitarization plan, but al-Hayya refused to discuss the topic. Trump's peace plan calls for Hamas to give up its weapons, a demand the group has not publicly agreed to. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu stated that Israel would refuse to move to the next phase of the cease-fire if Hamas does not disarm, potentially leading to renewed conflict.
