A senior figure in the Peace Council emphasized that the Israeli withdrawal will be gradual and contingent on a schedule still being negotiated, Barak Ravid (N12) reported.
A senior figure in the Gaza Peace Council, speaking to N12 journalist Barak Ravid at 02:35 Jerusalem, said that the Israeli withdrawal from the Strip will be gradual and based on a timetable that is still being finalized in negotiations. The statement adds operational detail to the diplomatic framework announced by President Donald Trump earlier tonight.
At 01:30 Jerusalem, Trump wrote on Truth Social that the Gaza Peace Council had reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all armed groups, to be implemented in phases: weapons handover, Israeli withdrawal, and deployment of an international stabilization force alongside a new Palestinian police force. Trump thanked Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey for mediating. The thread of Trump's statements, reported by Barak Ravid, established the phased framework.
As The Zioneer reported on July 6, Gaza Board of Peace head Nikolay Mladenov stated that large-scale reconstruction and IDF withdrawal are contingent on Hamas disarmament, and that a technocratic committee could take over once unresolved clauses are agreed upon. The current update follows Mladenov's earlier outline.
The pace of the withdrawal remains contingent on the finalization of the timetable, which is still under discussion. The specific disarmament mechanism and the role of the international stabilization force are among the clauses that remain to be resolved.
