The lead envoy with US President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, is set to hold talks on Monday with senior Israeli officials on the situation in the Palestinian enclave.
During the talks, Mladenov is expected to ask Israel to ease restrictions on the entry of humanitarian supplies into the blockaded Gaza Strip and limit its military operations there, The Times of Israel news website said.
His trip to Israel comes after the envoy held talks with Hamas in Egypt on the implementation of Trump’s Gaza ceasefire plan.
No details were provided about the content of the discussions between the two sides, but Israeli media claimed that Mladenov’s talks with the group for disarmament have failed.
According to The Times of Israel, Hamas insisted that the issue of its weapons could be only addressed as part of a framework culminating in the establishment of a Palestinian state.
Hamas has not issued any statement about the talks with Mladenov or any comment on the Israeli media reports.
On Sept. 29, 2025, Trump announced a three-phase plan to end Israel’s two-year war on Gaza, including a ceasefire, partial withdrawal, the release of Israeli captives and the entry of aid trucks.
