Gaza Board of Peace announces Hamas disarmament agreement: What we know

What the report says

Hamas says it has agreed to a staged plan meant to end Israel’s war on Gaza, including the gradual disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups and an Israeli withdrawal tied to those steps. The announcement was presented late Thursday by US President Donald Trump after mediators from Egypt, Qatar, Turkiye and the United States said they had finalized a roadmap for the next phase of the ceasefire. Al Jazeera reported that Israel had not publicly accepted the proposal at the time of publication.

According to the reported outline, weapons in Gaza would be inventoried and secured in phases under a Palestinian National Committee, with oversight from an international verification commission, an International Stabilization Force and a new Palestinian police service. The plan says heavy weapons, depots, production sites and tunnel networks would be addressed first, and that no weapons would be handed to Israel or other non-Palestinian parties. Trump said the process would move forward in carefully structured stages as disarmament progressed.

Hamas negotiator Ghazi Hamad told Al Jazeera that the group would not carry out any part of the deal unless Israel meets its own obligations, especially withdrawal from Gaza. The reported framework also envisions a technocratic Palestinian administration for day-to-day governance under a US-led Board of Peace. The proposal comes amid ongoing Israeli strikes, displacement and aid shortages in Gaza, which helps explain both the cautious optimism and skepticism surrounding the announcement.
