- The Board of Peace acknowledged an 'Israeli' strike on Nasser Hospital in its opening remarks, but subsequently framed attacks on medical facilities as allegations by Hamas.
The Washington-based Board of Peace has issued a contradictory statement following a deadly 'Israeli' strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, initially acknowledging the attack as 'Israeli' before appearing to cast responsibility as a disputed allegation in the following sentence.
The statement, released Thursday by the Office of Communications at the Donald J. Trump Institute of Peace, comes after an 'Israeli' strike on the medical complex killed six people, including a surgeon and a child, and wounded more than 20 others, according to local health authorities.
"The tragic loss of life following an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis underscores precisely why President Trump’s Comprehensive Peace Plan must be implemented immediately without further delay," the statement said.
However, the statement's next sentence appeared to contradict that acknowledgment, framing attacks on medical facilities as competing claims between 'Israel' and Hamas.
"Otherwise, we will continue to see tragedies in which Hamas alleges deliberate Israeli attacks on hospitals, Israel maintains that Hamas exploits these facilities for terrorist operations, and innocent Gazans ultimately pay the price," it added.

The Board of Peace stopped short of directly condemning the 'Israeli' strike. While expressing that it "deplores the death of any civilians," it directed its explicit condemnation at Hamas, accusing the group of "continued exploitation of hospitals and other critical civilian infrastructure for military purposes."
The statement's framing comes despite the 'Israeli' military publicly confirming that it carried out the overnight strike on the hospital complex.
According to Gaza's Health Ministry and witnesses, the strike hit the hospital's surgical ward, damaging one of the few remaining partially functioning medical facilities in the Gaza Strip. The attack reportedly struck without prior warning, leaving parts of the complex in ruins.
Hamas has rejected 'Israeli' claims that the hospital was being used for military purposes.
Despite 'Israel's' acknowledgment of the strike, the Board of Peace called on both sides to uphold the October 2025 ceasefire, stating that "Both Israel and Hamas must immediately honor their commitments under the Comprehensive Peace Plan."
The statement concluded by urging all parties to "cede the necessary authority and operational space to the Board of Peace" to oversee Gaza's demilitarization and ensure medical facilities can operate without obstruction.
