Nickolay Mladenov on Thursday rolled out a sweeping 15-point strategy intended to implement a diplomatic framework for the future governance and stabilization of Gaza, including the dismantling of terrorist control structures and the introduction of an international security presence.
The plan, which Mladenov published on social media shortly after addressing the United Nations Security Council, is aimed at carrying out President Donald Trump’s Gaza Comprehensive Peace Plan in full.
Mladenov explained that the roadmap is divided into several operational stages. The opening five points establish broad civilian and administrative principles. Points six through eleven center on a major security transition process. Points twelve through fourteen call for the deployment of an International Stabilization Force together with a phased IDF withdrawal. The final point links Gaza’s long-term reconstruction to measurable and verified stability on the ground.
The international envoy stressed that the initiative is not meant merely to freeze the conflict temporarily.
“simply to preserve a ceasefire,” Mladenov warned, saying the objective is instead to permanently end Gaza’s recurring cycle of warfare and military escalation.
Recognizing the deep mistrust between the sides, Mladenov said the entire framework is built around strict reciprocal actions that would only proceed following independent confirmation by an Implementation Verification Committee, known as the IVC.
“trust between Israelis and Palestinians is effectively non-existent,” Mladenov acknowledged.
“The process therefore does not rely on promises alone,” Mladenov wrote on social media. “Each obligation by one side triggers an obligation by the other.”
The proposal would dismantle the current governing system in Gaza and replace it with a temporary transitional structure established under UN Security Council Resolution 2803. Under the framework, oversight would be handled by the newly created Board of Peace together with the Office of the High Representative.
Civilian administration inside Gaza would be managed by the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, or NCAG — a temporary body made up of Palestinian Arab technocrats tasked with overseeing governance until a restructured Palestinian Authority assumes control.
A central element of the proposal addresses Israel’s long-standing demand that armed terrorist organizations be separated entirely from civilian governance in Gaza.
“Gaza cannot recover while armed groups simultaneously operate as governing authorities,” Mladenov stated.
The roadmap seeks to cut Hamas leadership off from public institutions while at the same time protecting ordinary civil servants who pass vetting procedures from blanket punishment or retaliation.
The security component of the plan is built around the doctrine of “One Authority, One Law, One Weapon,” under which only approved, nonpartisan security personnel would be authorized to bear arms inside Gaza.
As part of the proposal, terrorist organizations would be required to permanently halt all military activity.
Mladenov also called for a major restructuring of Gaza’s policing apparatus, including extensive vetting procedures and reforms designed to absorb trained civilian police into unified local security systems.
According to the proposal, the approach is intended to create a gradual and internationally monitored disarmament process while preventing a broader collapse of internal security in the enclave.
