Board of Peace (BoP) Director-General and High Representative for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov, met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and requested that all Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) strikes against Hamas in Gaza stop so a "14-day ceasefire" aimed at kickstarting the demilitarization of Hamas can begin, sources familiar with the matter told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

Mladenov is also set to arrive in Israel to meet with senior Israeli officials, Israeli public broadcaster KAN reported on Monday, adding that the visit would likely be connected to the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire plan.

Key Claims

Mladenov met with Netanyahu and requested that IDF strikes against Hamas stop to allow a "14-day ceasefire" to begin, according to sources familiar with the matter.
The ceasefire proposal aims to kickstart the demilitarization of Hamas.
Mladenov implied on Sunday that IDF strikes in Gaza are interfering with peace efforts, stating in an X/Twitter post that "Two days of strikes across Gaza have killed civilians and destroyed medical supplies that people depend on."
Mladenov noted that BoP's current efforts are concentrated on disarming "Palestinian factions" in Gaza and implementing a civilian government, and that both Israel and the "Palestinian factions" have obligations under the deal that they must adhere to.
The Trump administration's comprehensive Gaza plan includes Hamas's complete disarmament, the transfer of civilian governance to a technocratic Palestinian administration, the deployment of an international stabilization force, and the transformation of Gaza.
White House and BoP officials told The Jerusalem Post on Friday that they are "not asking Israel to do anything other than agree to the 20-point plan that they agreed to initially."

Perspectives

Israeli military perspective: The IDF continues to carry out targeted strikes against terrorist operatives, killing field commanders and Nukhba terrorists who participated in the October 7 massacre. The military states that those targeted were actively advancing terrorist attacks and were eliminated to remove imminent threats. Jerusalem maintains that it cannot relinquish its right or obligation to act against terrorists actively plotting attacks, seeing no contradiction with ongoing diplomatic efforts.

Board of Peace/White House perspective: Nikolay Mladenov emphasizes that the strikes are interfering with peace efforts, causing civilian casualties and damaging medical infrastructure. He stresses that both Israel and Palestinian factions must adhere to their obligations under the deal, with his team working "around the clock" to de-escalate and create space for full implementation of the US President's plan. Senior White House and BoP officials express confidence that Israel will adhere to the 20-point plan, while noting they would be "very, very disappointed" if they do not.

What was claimed, and who backed it

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
