President Trump announced on Truth Social early Friday that the Board of Peace has reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all armed groups in Gaza. Trump called the deal a 'monumental step toward lasting peace and security.'
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social at 07:32 Jerusalem time Friday morning to confirm that the Board of Peace has reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all armed groups in Gaza. Trump described the development as a 'monumental step toward lasting peace and security.' The post reiterates the commitment that the threat of October 7 will not be rebuilt, reinforcing statements made earlier in the morning.
The Zioneer first reported the emerging framework at 01:31, when a senior Gaza Peace Council official outlined a 'zero trust' verification model. At 02:29, a Peace Council official confirmed to N12 that Hamas and Palestinian factions had agreed to the disarmament. President Trump then announced the deal at 05:13, with details including a phased implementation over 200–300 days, an International Stabilization Force taking custody of heavy weaponry, and Israeli forces withdrawing upon verified completion of the handover. The current Truth Social message publicly confirms and amplifies those reports.
As The Zioneer reported, the Gaza Peace Council – a U.S.-led mediation body – has been working on a framework that requires independent verification at every stage, with a technocratic government assuming authority over personal weapons and a new local police force handling light weapons. The agreement is part of a broader effort to ensure that the security conditions that enabled the October 7 atrocities are permanently dismantled.
The status of the agreement remains Developing. The specific mechanisms for verification, enforcement, and the exact timeline for implementation have not been detailed in this latest statement. No official response from Hamas or other Palestinian factions has been reported in connection with this specific post.
