Board of Peace envoy Nickolay Mladenov on Monday urged Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to halt attacks in the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media.
Citing a source, Israel’s Channel 12 reported that Mladenov and Board of Peace senior adviser Aryeh Lightstone met with Netanyahu and asked him “to stop the strikes in Gaza as Israel pledged to do when it agreed to President Trump’s 20-point plan.”
The Israeli public broadcaster KAN earlier reported that Mladenov had arrived in Israel for meetings with Israeli officials.
Meanwhile, an Israeli political source said in a statement circulated to Israeli media that Israel “will not withdraw from the current line in the Gaza Strip” and “will continue to thwart any threat to our citizens and soldiers.”
Israeli media outlets said statements attributed to a “political source” are issued by the Israeli prime minister’s office.
