After Netanyahu's Meeting.. Miladinov Meets Senior Palestinian Officials in Ramallah

Translation by SadaNews - The former UN envoy, Nikolai Miladinov, is meeting with senior officials in the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah today, Friday.

According to Kan Hebrew radio, as translated by SadaNews, Miladinov, who will serve as the executive director of the peace council under U.S. President Donald Trump, and will be responsible for the day after in the Gaza Strip, will head to Ramallah today to meet with senior officials in the Palestinian Authority.

Miladinov met on Thursday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and other senior officials, in preparation for moving to the next phase of Trump's plan.

During the meeting, Netanyahu emphasized that Hamas must dismantle its weapons and that the Gaza Strip should be a demilitarized zone according to Trump's plan, his office stated, according to the translation by SadaNews.

This comes at a time when U.S. sources estimate that President Donald Trump will announce the launch of the second phase of the ceasefire by the middle of next month.

He will also announce the formation of a "peace council" under his leadership.
