Since the first full day of the truce on October 11, 2025, Israeli attacks have killed at least 425 Palestinians, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.<\/p>\n<p>In a statement on Thursday, Netanyahu\u2019s office said Mladenov \u201cis slated to serve as Director General of the \u2018Peace Council\u2019 in the Gaza Strip\u201d. Israel\u2019s President Isaac Herzog also met Mladenov on Thursday, a spokesperson from his office said, without elaborating.<\/p>\n<p>Under Trump\u2019s plan to end the war, the proposed Board of Peace would supervise a new technocratic Palestinians government, the disarmament of Hamas, the deployment of an international security force, the further pushback of Israeli troops, and the reconstruction of the war-ravaged Gaza Strip.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is expected to announce appointments to the board next week, according to the Axios news outlet, citing US officials and sources familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmong the countries expected to join the board are the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt and Turkiye,\u201d Axios reported.<\/p>\n<p>Mladenov, a former Bulgarian defence and foreign minister, previously served as the UN envoy to Iraq before being appointed as the UN Middle East peace envoy from 2015 to 2020.<\/p>\n<p>During his time as Middle East envoy, Mladenov had good working relations with Israel and frequently worked to ease tensions between Israel and Hamas.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4054499\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4054499\" style=\"width:770px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-arc-image-770 wp-image-4054499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/INTERACTIVE-Where-Israeli-forces-are-positioned-yellow-line-gaza-map-1761200950.png?quality=80\" alt=\"INTERACTIVE - Where Israeli forces are positioned yellow line gaza map-1761200950\" data-interactive=\"true\" fetchpriority=\"low\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4054499\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">[Al Jazeera]<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu announcemed the Bulgarian diplomat as the \u2018designated\u2019 director-general for Trump\u2019s \u2018board of peace\u2019.
