U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace has condemned the loss of civilian lives following an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza.

The board warned that continued hostilities could lead to more civilian casualties if Mr Trump’s comprehensive peace plan is not implemented immediately.

It made its position known in a statement on Thursday, stressing the urgent need for the peace plan.

At least six people were killed, and nearly 30 people were injured after an Israeli airstrike on the medical facility. The Hamas-run health ministry described the attack as a “flagrant violation of international laws and conventions”.

The Board of Peace alleged that Hamas deliberately exploits hospitals and other critical civilian infrastructure for military operations, while Israel maintains that the group uses such facilities for terrorist activities.

The board expressed condolences for the civilian deaths and urged both Israel and Hamas to honour their commitments under the comprehensive peace plan.

It called on the parties to protect civilians, uphold the ceasefire and advance efforts to demilitarise Gaza.

The board said it has established a strategic framework to enable Gaza residents to live safely and access essential medical services in secure, demilitarised facilities.

It urged all parties to grant the necessary authority and operational space to implement the framework without obstruction or delay.

In January, Mr Trump announced the formation of the board— an international oversight board to monitor the work of Gaza’s new transitional administration.

The U.S. president, who chairs the board, said it would oversee the work of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, a group of 14 Palestinians that met for the first time in Cairo.

Mr Trump described it as the “greatest and most prestigious board ever assembled.”
