Jerusalem, 9 November, 2026 (TPS-IL) — The Board of Peace expressed concern Monday over severe flooding in the Gaza Strip and called on Israel to approve the entry of winter-preparation supplies as heavy rains and flooding batter the territory. Israeli security officials criticized the board in response, saying its priorities were troubling and focused on appearances while Hamas prepares for renewed fighting.
In a special statement, the board stressed the urgent need for winter equipment to help Gaza residents cope with harsh weather conditions. Alongside its demands of Israel, it reiterated its call for Hamas to disarm.
Meanwhile, a similar initiative is taking shape internationally under British leadership. Approximately 50 countries are expected to issue a joint statement urging Israel to lift restrictions on aid deliveries and expand the operations of international relief organizations ahead of winter.
