Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office announced on Monday that Israel and the U.S.-led Board of Peace will launch two working groups to address key issues in the board’s plan for disarming Hamas and reconstructing the enclave.

The PMO announced the developments in a readout following Netanyahu’s “deep and constructive discussions” with Jared Kushner and Board of Peace High Representative Nickolay Mladenov, as well as their respective teams, in Jerusalem. Mladenov and Kushner had met a day earlier in Cairo with Hamas leaders and Turkish, Egyptian and Qatari mediators.

Also participating in the Jerusalem meeting were former British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Board of Peace senior advisors Aryeh Lightstone and Liran Tancman. 

One working group will focus on disarmament and demilitarization in Gaza, the PMO said, “which both Israel and the Board of Peace are determined should be prompt and completed before any reconstruction happens in Gaza.”

The second working group will focus on “sanitation, clean water and other public health issues for the people of Gaza and which also impact the people of Israel,” the statement continued.

Kushner, Mladenov, Blair, Lightstone and Tancman also met on Monday with Israeli President Isaac Herzog at his official residence in Jerusalem. Herzog expressed gratitude for Kushner and Mladenov in a statement following the meeting “for their ongoing efforts to advance to the next stages in Gaza,” and said he “was impressed that Israel’s security interests are an important and central element of their plan.”

Hamas leaders have agreed to a phased disarmament that would only take place after Israel’s complete withdrawal from Gaza, contrary to the roadmap’s timeline that calls for Hamas’ complete disarmament before any IDF withdrawal begins. Due to these and other concerns, Netanyahu announced last month that Israel would not agree to the deal.

During the summit in Cairo, Hamas officials detailed what they described as Israeli violations of the ceasefire in Gaza, while Kushner asked Hamas representatives to move ahead with disarmament, according to The New York Times.
