Gaza's top representative in the Peace Council, Nikolai Mladnov, says he received a letter from Israel's COGAT regarding the suspension of the coordination of private sector goods to Gaza following reports of threats and coercion from Hamas. Mladenov condemned the intimidation of traders and interference in the supply chain, and warned that such methods worsen the suffering of the citizens in Gaza. He called for the urgent deployment of the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), supported by the International Stabilization Force (ISF), alongside the disarmament process and the transition to new governance arrangements.
