Hamas has agreed to the Board of Peace's plan for complete disarmament in Gaza, as part of the US-brokered ceasefire framework, according to a report by The Zioneer. Israel has not yet commented on the withdrawal timeline. The agreement includes the disarmament of Hamas, Israeli troop withdrawal, and Gaza reconstruction.
Hamas has formally agreed to the Board of Peace's plan for complete disarmament in Gaza, The Zioneer reports, marking the first public acceptance by the terror group of the US-brokered framework. The development comes hours after President Trump announced the historic agreement at 05:13 Jerusalem on Friday, calling it a 'monumental step toward lasting peace and security.' The deal includes the handover of all weapons held by Hamas and other armed groups, an Israeli troop withdrawal, and Gaza reconstruction. Israel has yet to comment on the withdrawal timeline.
Trump's early-morning announcement at 05:13 Jerusalem was followed by a series of posts detailing a phased implementation over 200 to 300 days, with light weapons collected for local police, heavy weapons and tunnels handled by an International Stabilization Force, and personal weapons under the authority of a technocratic government. American officials said Israel had signed the agreement despite skepticism that Hamas would disarm. The current report, from a single source, does not specify when the disarmament process is expected to begin. As The Zioneer reported on July 27, Israel had approved a pilot deployment of the Board of Peace in parts of Gaza not controlled by Hamas, beginning in the Rafah area.
The Board of Peace framework was established by President Trump and has been the subject of intensive regional mediation. The Zioneer has previously reported on the Gaza Peace Council's role in reaching the initial agreement. While the formal acceptance by Hamas is a significant step, the implementation timeline, verification mechanism, and Israel's official response remain unclear. The fate of the deal hinges on the ability to verify Hamas's disarmament and the subsequent Israeli withdrawal, which Trump said would be completed upon verified weapons handover. Further details are awaited.
