President Trump announced a "historic" deal for Hamas's complete disarmament, brokered by his Board of Peace with mediators Turkey, Egypt, and Qatar.

Israeli strikes continue in Gaza, killing at least one, hours after US President Donald Trump announced a "historic agreement" for disarmament and IDF withdrawal.

The US State Department's official policy to dismantle the International Criminal Court (ICC) "brick by brick" is seen as a critical threat to international justice. This move, involving sanctions on officials and pressure on allies, aligns the US with autocrats and follows previous Trump-era actions against the ICC.
Trump's Board of Peace is planning a pilot 'humanitarian zone' in Rafah, Gaza, to house vetted Palestinian civilians, secured by multinational troops.

Gaza reports over 90% destruction and Israeli control of 80% of the territory as the war reaches 1,000 days. At least 73,066 Palestinians killed, including thousands of children, with 9,500 missing and 173,514 wounded. Famine risk is extreme, and human development has regressed 77 years.
A US-led Board of Peace, including Tony Blair and Nickolay Mladenov, is meeting in Cyprus to plan Gaza's administrative future, aiming to isolate Hamas through temporary reconstruction under Trump's Article 17.

NPR's Steve Inskeep discusses with Financial Times reporter Abigail Hauslohner the funding for President Trump's proposed Board of Peace, intended to oversee Gaza's reconstruction.
川普成立的「和平理事會」官方基金未收到任何捐助國的款項，儘管美國、卡達、沙烏地阿拉伯及阿拉伯聯合大公國等承諾提供數十億美元。該基金由世界銀行管理、聯合國背書，但遭歐洲主要國家迴避，成員多為美國在中東的夥伴、川普意識形態盟友及小型國家。

Josh Gruenbaum, a former Wall Street executive who rose rapidly in the Trump administration and met with Putin at the Kremlin, has had his foreign policy responsibilities reduced.

Concerns about his working style and internal communications led to the shift, though he maintains support from Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya criticized the Board of Peace for Gaza, saying there are no tangible results and that attempts are being made to 'buy off' Palestinians with business projects rather than solve the political problem of creating an independent Palestinian state. He noted Security Council resolution 2803 has stalled, the International Stabilization Force is not deployed, and more than half of Gaza remains occupied by Israel.
Meetings on the future of Gaza served as "bridge-building" between global bodies and the Trump administration's Board of Peace, the minister said.
