A delegation from the Board of Peace (BoP) briefed national security advisers and senior staff representing the Republican and Democratic leadership of the US House of Representatives and Senate in Washington on the implementation of President Donald Trump's Comprehensive Peace Plan, a senior BoP member told The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday. The delegation was led by senior adviser Josh Gruenbaum, while Gen. Mark Schwartz (ret.), the Board's security lead, participated remotely. In their briefing, the delegation described current efforts to implement the plan and emphasized the determination to work with Congress in a bipartisan manner to advance peace, security, governance, and reconstruction in Gaza. The meeting was also attended by national security advisers for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. No additional details regarding the discussions or any future congressional engagement were shared. In a related development, BoP chief Nickolay Mladenov met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and requested that all IDF strikes against Hamas in Gaza stop so a '14-day ceasefire' aimed at kickstarting the demilitarization of Hamas can begin. The BoP stated the meeting was 'constructive and detailed,' and clarified that the IDF's withdrawal from Gaza will only take place once all weapons and military infrastructure are decommissioned.
