“Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups operating in Gaza. This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY,” he wrote.

He said the agreement marks a major milestone in the implementation of his 20-point plan. Under the arrangement, Israeli forces would withdraw as disarmament is completed. An International Stabilization Force, working with a new Palestinian police force, would then assume responsibility for security in Gaza.

Trump also stated that the deal represents a critical step toward placing Gaza under a new Palestinian government that would work closely with the Board of Peace. He thanked Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey for their mediation efforts.

Hamas Confirms Agreement, Israel Yet to Respond

A senior Hamas official told the BBC that the group has agreed to the Board of Peace’s plan for complete disarmament and that an official statement would be released soon. However, differences remain over the sequence of steps. Hamas negotiator Ghazi Hamad told Al Jazeera that the group would not begin disarming until Israeli forces withdraw from Gaza, and that the process should take place without Israeli involvement.

Israel has not yet issued an official comment. Israeli officials had previously expressed skepticism that Hamas would fully surrender its weapons, with one telling The Times of Israel that an earlier Board of Peace proposal did not meet Israel’s demands for complete demilitarization of the territory.

The agreement forms part of the second phase of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire framework. Officials from the Board of Peace and the United States say implementation could begin within weeks, though the full process of collecting weapons, destroying tunnels, and establishing new security structures is expected to take many months.
