Gaza Board of Peace announces Hamas disarmament agreement: What we know
Hamas has announced agreement to a disarmament deal brokered by the US-led Board of Peace, with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey finalizing a roadmap. Israel must withdraw from Gaza in stages, though it has not publicly endorsed the proposal and Palestinians express skepticism given previous agreement violations.
A ceasefire agreement framework has been announced involving Hamas's commitment to disarm and surrender weapons progressively, contingent on Israeli military withdrawal from Gaza. The arrangement was disclosed by US President Donald Trump following coordination among mediators representing Egypt, Qatar, Turkey, and the United States through the Board of Peace and International Stabilization Force for Gaza. Egypt is slated to host representatives from the US, Qatar, and Turkey for subsequent discussions aimed at monitoring adherence during the agreement's second phase. The phased implementation structure calls for Israeli force reductions to occur as disarmament progresses, with an international stabilization force and new Palestinian police force eventually assuming security responsibilities. However, significant obstacles persist. Israel has not formally committed to the latest proposal, and Hamas has indicated it will not proceed with implementation unless Israeli forces fulfill their withdrawal obligations. Palestinian leadership and observers remain cautious, citing Israel's historical non-compliance with previous agreements and ongoing military operations that have resulted in Palestinian casualties and continued restrictions on humanitarian assistance since the October 2025 ceasefire commenced. Uncertainty also surrounds whether all Palestinian armed factions beyond Hamas would accept the terms and whether complete Israeli withdrawal would materialize.
