Nikolai Mladenov, the Board of Peace's high representative for Gaza, stated in a Channel 12 interview on Sunday that dismantling Gaza's tunnel network could take over a decade under a proposed 15-point postwar plan. This roadmap, negotiated between the Board of Peace and Hamas, aims to ensure Gaza "is never again a threat to Israeli security" through three elements: full weapons decommissioning, Board of Peace governance via a national committee, and large-scale reconstruction overseen by an international security force. Mladenov clarified that Israel would not withdraw forces "before we actually have verified steps on the ground." However, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced Jerusalem's rejection of the roadmap, emphasizing the need for "real disarmament, not fictitious disarmament" of Hamas.
