Hamas official says group agrees to Board of Peace disarmament plan

A senior Hamas official told the BBC that the group has accepted the proposal put forward by the Board of Peace, a mediation initiative aimed at de‑escalating the ongoing conflict. The official’s statement, made in a televised interview, indicated that Hamas sees the plan as a potential pathway toward a cease‑fire and the release of detained individuals, though specific terms were not disclosed.

The Israeli government has not issued a response to the announcement, and spokespersons for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs declined to comment when approached for a statement. Observers note that the development comes amid heightened diplomatic activity in the region, but the lack of an Israeli reply leaves the prospects for implementation uncertain.
