According to Arab sources cited by Saudi outlet Al-Arabiya, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad has agreed to the Board of Peace's Gaza disarmament plan. The plan requires terror groups to lay down their weapons in exchange for a gradual Israeli withdrawal, though Israel has conditioned its pullout on the genuine disarmament of Hamas. The parties are now in a 14-day window to finalize an implementation timeline.
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has agreed to the Board of Peace's Gaza disarmament plan, according to Arab sources cited by Saudi outlet Al-Arabiya. The development follows The Zioneer's earlier report today, based on The Jerusalem Post, that PIJ had signed onto the deal. Hamas formally accepted the proposal last week, as The Zioneer reported on Friday.
The plan requires all Gaza terror groups to lay down their weapons, with Israel conducting a gradual withdrawal. Jerusalem has stressed that it will not withdraw until Hamas is genuinely disarmed. The parties are now in a 14-day period to finalize a timeline for implementing each stage of the plan.
The agreement comes after the Peace Council published a detailed roadmap last Friday, which included provisions for heavy weapons to remain under Palestinian custody. The Zioneer previously reported on the framework's complexities and the 'zero trust' verification model.
