Trump: Board of Peace Reaches Deal Over Hamas Disarmament

U.S. President Donald Trump announced on his Truth Social platform that the Board of Peace (BoP) has successfully negotiated an agreement for the "complete disarmament" of Hamas and other Palestinian militant groups in the Gaza Strip. Trump characterized the deal as a "monumental step toward lasting peace and security" and a "major milestone" in implementing his 20-Point Plan to end the conflict.

This agreement is a critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people. At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks.

The agreement aims to facilitate Gaza's governance by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the BoP. Simultaneously, it seeks to provide Israel with the security it requires, ensuring that Gaza is no longer used as a base for terror attacks. Trump extended his gratitude to mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey for their crucial role in achieving this "historic breakthrough."

According to the U.S. president, the disarmament process will unfold in carefully structured phases. Upon the completion of disarmament, Israeli forces are expected to withdraw from the area. An international stabilization force will then collaborate with a newly established Palestinian police force to ensure the safety of Gaza's residents and its neighbors.

This announcement comes after reports of negotiators in Cairo reaching a consensus on a 15-point roadmap for Hamas' disarmament, although amendments were still being finalized. While Trump has promoted the agreement, there has been no official confirmation from Israel or from the mediating countries. Senior Hamas officials, speaking anonymously, have confirmed their agreement to a deal to end the conflict with Israel and anticipate that mediators will ensure Israel uphns its part of the bargain. Israel has yet to comment on the announcements made by Trump or Hamas.

As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors.
