Hamas agrees to detailed roadmap for next phases of Gaza ceasefire, mediators announce

Roadmap for Transition

The announcement marks a significant development in the diplomatic efforts to stabilize Gaza following the ceasefire. According to the mediators, the roadmap outlines the entry of the NCAG (the coalition tasked with administering Gaza) into a transition deployment phase. This administrative shift is designed to be backed by the International Stabilization Force (ISF), a body previously characterized as a strategic framework for the 'day after' that operates in coordination with Israeli security imperatives.

Verification and Security

A key component of the newly accepted roadmap is the establishment of an International Verification Committee (IVC). This body will be responsible for verifying compliance with the agreement's terms as the process moves forward. The plan stipulates that the IDF will withdraw from the Strip in phases, while the ISF manages a buffer zone between Israeli forces and the areas under NCAG control. This structure aims to maintain security stability during the sensitive handover of administrative responsibilities.

Reconstruction and Oversight

The reconstruction of the Gaza Strip is slated to be coordinated by the Board of Peace in conjunction with the NCAG. Funding for these efforts is expected to be drawn from international sources. This follows prior reports of a "one authority, one law, one weapon" model, which seeks to ensure that terror infrastructure cannot be rebuilt. While the mediators have announced Hamas's agreement to these detailed steps, the implementation remains in a developing stage, with the Israeli security establishment maintaining its focus on practical verification and the prevention of future rearmament.
