A False Sense of Progress: The Board of Peace's Latest Bid for Middle East Peace The recent announcement by Donald Trump that the Board of Peace has reached a "historic" agreement on Hamas' disarmament is being hailed as a major milestone in implementing his 20 point plan to end the conflict in Gaza.
However, this deal appears to be more of a hollow exercise in diplomacy than a genuine step towards peace.
The Israeli government has dismissed the deal out of hand, citing concerns that Hamas' disarmament hinges on Israeli troops withdrawing from the Gaza Strip.
