The Gaza Peace Council (Board of Peace) published the full text of its disarmament agreement Friday evening, outlining a process in which Hamas and other armed groups surrender their weapons and Israeli forces withdraw from the Strip. The deal, hailed by President Trump as 'historic,' aims to end the cycle of destruction and establish a credible path to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
The Board of Peace on Friday published the full text of its Gaza disarmament agreement, providing the most detailed public version of the deal to date. The full text release, which came at 09:10 Jerusalem, follows the initial announcement of the framework overnight by President Trump. The agreement calls for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in the Gaza Strip, an Israeli withdrawal, and the establishment of a credible path to Palestinian self-determination and statehood.
Earlier Friday at 09:10 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported a series of developments as the details emerged. President Trump announced overnight that the Gaza Peace Council had finalized a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas. The Peace Council then hailed the roadmap as a 'historic achievement' and shifted focus to implementation. Subsequent reports, citing N13/Army Radio and i24NEWS, provided key details: the roadmap stipulates that Hamas disarms first, followed by an Israeli withdrawal; heavy weapons will be stored inside Gaza under Palestinian control, not transferred to Israel; light weapons may remain with individuals subject to Palestinian law; and a multinational force will oversee the process. The roadmap also requires the disbanding of Israel-linked militias and allows for a halt to Israeli targeted killings.
As The Zioneer reported earlier Friday, the framework is part of President Trump's 20-point peace initiative. The Gaza Peace Council, established by the U.S., has outlined a 200-to-300-day implementation period. However, Hamas has conditioned its cooperation on a full Israeli withdrawal and the establishment of a Palestinian state, as reported at 15:58 Jerusalem. The group has also demanded the dismantling of local security entities it labels as Israeli-backed. The 'zero trust' framework, as described by a Peace Council official, underscores the deep skepticism between the parties.
The sides have not yet formally approved the framework, and several unresolved issues remain. The sequencing of disarmament and withdrawal steps is unclear, as is the status of personal weapons and the storage of heavy weapons. The possibility that stored weapons could return to Hamas hands has been noted by critics. The gap between the Peace Council's plan and Hamas's public demands remains significant.
