Nikolai Mladenov, the UN Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, has urged Israel to immediately permit the entry of an international stabilization force and a technocratic committee into the Gaza Strip. This demand was conveyed in a letter sent to Yoram Levy, the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).
Mladenov's request follows COGAT's announcement of a halt to the entry of goods into Gaza via private merchants, a primary channel for most shipments, until further notice. The UN envoy also called on the Israeli government to approve a pilot program slated to commence in the Rafah area, as part of the Trump plan.
