Trump's Board of Peace, established to manage post-conflict Gaza, on Thursday, November 12, urgently called for the immediate implementation of its Comprehensive Peace Plan. This demand follows an Israeli airstrike earlier that day on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, which resulted in the deaths of six people and left at least twelve others wounded.
The Board emphasized that the fatalities at the hospital underscored the critical need for prompt peace plan execution. 'Otherwise, we will continue to see tragedies where Hamas alleges deliberate Israeli attacks on hospitals, Israel maintains that Hamas exploits these facilities for terrorist operations, and innocent Gazans ultimately pay the price,' the statement read. Gaza's Health Ministry confirmed the strike hit the hospital's surgery department, with a doctor among the deceased. An Associated Press journalist on site observed significant damage, including the destruction of parts of the building's second floor.
While condemning all civilian casualties, the Board also accused Hamas of leveraging hospitals and other crucial civilian infrastructure for military purposes. It pressed both Israel and Hamas to uphold their commitments under the Comprehensive Peace Plan, specifically highlighting the protection of civilians, adherence to the ceasefire, and the advancement of Gaza's demilitarisation. The Israeli military claimed it had targeted a senior Hamas figure and other militants in the strike, though it offered no evidence to substantiate this assertion.
Furthermore, the Board announced the creation of a strategic framework designed to ensure Palestinians in Gaza can live securely and access essential medical services within safe, demilitarised facilities. It urged all involved parties to transfer the necessary authority and operational space, allowing this framework to be implemented without further hindrance.
The Board of Peace, initially proposed by US President Donald Trump in September 2025, officially launched in January 2026. Its mandate includes managing Gaza in the aftermath of the conflict, facilitating reconstruction, and enhancing security. Trump leads the Board, with former UN envoy Nickolay Mladenov serving as its High Representative, bridging communication with the team responsible for Gaza's management.
