The Board of Peace, alongside Egypt, Qatar, the United States, and Turkey, announced Saturday that Hamas has agreed to a detailed roadmap for the next phases of the ongoing Gaza ceasefire. According to the announcement, the NCAG (the coalition tasked with administering Gaza) will enter a transition deployment phase toward governing the Strip, backed by the International Stabilization Force (ISF). An International Verification Committee (IVC) will verify compliance, and the IDF is to withdraw in phases while the ISF manages a buffer zone. Reconstruction will be coordinated by the Board of Peace alongside the NCAG using international funding.
The Board of Peace, alongside the mediating countries of Egypt, Qatar, the United States, and Turkey, announced Saturday that Hamas has formally agreed to a detailed roadmap for the implementation of the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire. The announcement marks a significant step in the months-long diplomatic effort to transition the Strip from Hamas rule to an international-backed administration.
According to the announcement, the NCAG (the coalition tasked with administering Gaza) will enter a transition deployment phase toward assuming governance of the Strip. The International Stabilization Force (ISF) will back the NCAG, providing security and managing a buffer zone between the IDF and NCAG-controlled areas. An International Verification Committee (IVC) will be established to verify the compliance of all parties with the ceasefire terms. The IDF is to withdraw from the Strip in a phased manner, while the ISF secures the buffer zone. Reconstruction of Gaza will be coordinated by the Board of Peace alongside the NCAG, funded by international contributions.
The development comes after weeks of intensive diplomacy. As The Zioneer reported on July 30, Hamas had reportedly agreed to all clauses of Trump's Gaza plan, which centered on disarmament and demilitarization. A subsequent Al Jazeera report on July 31 detailed a draft weapons collection agreement with a phased handover to international oversight. The Board of Peace had earlier proposed a pilot housing project in Rafah, though the green light remained elusive.
The announcement sets the stage for a complex implementation phase, with key details still pending: the exact timeline for the IDF withdrawal, the composition and rules of engagement for the ISF, and the mechanisms for verifying the destruction of Hamas's military infrastructure. Israel's security establishment has emphasized the need for verifiable disarmament before any significant withdrawal.
