U.S. President Donald Trump announced what he described as a monumental agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza. The announcement was made on the social media platform Truth Social.

Trump characterized the deal, brokered by the peace council "Board of Peace," as a critical step toward achieving lasting peace and security in Gaza. He suggested the agreement would lead to Gaza being governed by a new Palestinian administration that would cooperate with the peace council.

"This agreement is a crucial step toward Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government, which will cooperate closely with the peace council to help the Palestinian people," Trump wrote.
