Hamas said it agrees to disarm in the Gaza Strip following a peace proposal announced by President Donald Trump.
The development represents a potential shift in the regional conflict, as a full disarmament of the militant group has been a primary goal for Israel and international mediators.
President Trump announced the deal through his "Board of Peace," an international body tasked with overseeing the peace roadmap. The proposal outlines a specific phase dedicated to the disarmament of Hamas within Gaza [1], [3]. This framework arrives nine months after a U.S.-brokered ceasefire [1].
Reports on the agreement vary across news outlets. The BBC reported that Hamas said it agrees to the disarmament [2]. However, other reports indicated that Israel and Hamas had not yet officially commented on the announcement at the time it was made [3].
The peace roadmap is intended to provide a structured path toward long-term stability in the region. By integrating the Board of Peace into the process, the U.S. administration aims to ensure international oversight of the disarmament phase [3].
Despite the announcement, the timeline for the disarmament process remains unspecified. The transition from a ceasefire to a full disarmament phase involves significant security coordination between local forces, and international monitors to ensure the stability of the Gaza Strip [1], [4].
“Hamas said it agrees to disarm in the Gaza Strip following a peace proposal announced by President Donald Trump.”
If implemented, the disarmament of Hamas would fundamentally alter the security architecture of the Gaza Strip. The use of an international "Board of Peace" suggests a shift toward multilateral oversight, though the conflicting reports regarding official confirmation from Hamas and Israel indicate that the diplomatic process remains fragile and subject to verification.
