The Peace Board for Gaza, the body headed by the president of the United States, Donald Trump, has blamed the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas for the bombing carried out by the Israeli Army against the Nasser Medical Complex, located in the south of the Gaza Strip, an attack that caused at least six deaths and 20 people injured.
This entity, created to manage the postwar scenario in Gaza, fully supports the version offered by Israel of what happened: according to this interpretation, Hamas would have used the civilian population as human shields. For its part, the Palestinian movement argues that it was an intentional attack on a health facility, which it describes as a new war crime committed by Israel.
The board, however, "condemns the continued exploitation, by Hamas, of hospitals and other critical civilian infrastructure for military uses," and emphasizes that "the tragedy of the Israeli attack" in Jan Yunis "precisely underscores why the Comprehensive Peace Plan of President Trump must be implemented immediately and without further delay".
Along these lines, the institution insists that "both Israel and Hamas must immediately comply with their commitments under the Comprehensive Peace Plan, including the protection of civilians, the maintenance of the ceasefire, and the advancement of the demilitarization of Gaza".
Finally, the Peace Board calls on all the parties involved to grant it "the authority and the operational space necessary" to "put this framework into practice without obstruction or delay".
