Hamas says Gaza seizure proposal breaches ceasefire amid questions over peace board

What happened

Middle East Eye Gaza reports that Hamas has condemned a proposal linked to Israel’s announced intent to take control of about 70 percent of the Gaza Strip, calling it a violation of the ceasefire agreement. Hamas spokesman Hazem Qasim accused Israel of persisting in efforts to displace Palestinians from Gaza and criticized the US-backed “Board of Peace” for failing to denounce this move.

The central claim remains unconfirmed in the supplied material and should be treated as hearsay until corroborated by another reliable source or a named official. The Board of Peace, created earlier this year by then US President Donald Trump to oversee Gaza’s post-war transition, includes international figures such as Tony Blair and Jared Kushner. Hamas highlights the board’s silence as raising serious doubts about its commitment and impartiality in supervising the ceasefire process.

The accusations from Hamas about displacement and ceasefire breaches are serious but have not been independently confirmed through the source material. The details concerning Israel’s intended territorial control and the peace board’s role remain politically sensitive and contested, reflecting broader tensions around Gaza’s future.
