Gaza Turning Point Possible Amid Huge Challenges

Ramiz Alakbarov, UN Deputy Special Coordinator for the Middle East Process, said that there is a potential turning point in Gaza, but “the task at hand is monumental.”

Briefing the Security Council on 28 January Alakbarov said, “The announced start of the second phase of President Trump’s 20-point Comprehensive Plan is a critical step in consolidating the ceasefire in Gaza, alongside the establishment of the subsidiary bodies of the Board of Peace, including the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza and the Office of the High Representative for Gaza.”

The United Nations stands ready to support the Committee and Palestinians in Gaza as they start the arduous work of rebuilding.”
