Board of Peace plans Gaza field survey to identify sites for handing over Hamas weapons, report says

World Israel News reported that the Board of Peace is preparing a field survey in Gaza to locate sites where Hamas weapons could be handed over.

The outlet said the initiative is tied to a broader Board of Peace proposal for Gaza reconstruction and governance and that organisers plan to press ahead with implementation only after elections in Israel and the United States conclude. The report quoted officials involved in the initiative as expecting limited visible progress before Israel’s October 27 election and the U.S.

November 3 midterm elections. According to World Israel News, Israel has agreed to allow a U.S. firm to enter Gaza to determine candidate sites for the arms handover, a detail reflected in multiple headlines about the reporting.

The article said the Board of Peace has been preparing the reconstruction plan for months but that those preparations had not produced major changes on the ground. It quoted a participant named Mladenov describing the objective as moving from planning into implementation.

World Israel News also reported that initial recruits have been chosen for a new police force connected to the project, and quoted an unnamed official involved in the initiative saying preparations were ongoing despite the absence of major developments.

The outlet attributed the timeline for visible movement to the sequencing around the two elections and said organisers expected a renewed American diplomatic push in November following the U.S. vote.

The reporting linked the field survey and site-selection work to the demilitarisation element of the Board of Peace plan, with World Israel News noting that the effort includes selecting locations for weapons handover.

The Times of Israel and The Jerusalem Post published headlines reflecting the same central facts: that a field survey or U.S. firm would identify sites for disarmament or weapons handover, and that the Board of Peace characterises the work as part of a broader demilitarisation process.

World Israel News presented the timing as deliberate: officials said the group would advance reconstruction and governance steps after the elections, rather than immediately.

The article included a direct quote from a person it named as involved in the initiative emphasising that preparations were continuing and that business interests had not been discussed in the planning phase.

The account in World Israel News is limited to the initiative’s planners and their stated timeline and does not provide independent verification of any field-work conducted in Gaza or of the presence or actions of a U.S. firm on the ground.

Headlines in other outlets echo the core claim that site identification for a weapons handover is being planned, but the World Israel News text supplies the detailed timeline and the reported selections for an initial policing cohort.
