The US-established Gaza Board of Peace, responding to a Hamas declaration, stated its assessment will be based on actions rather than promises, reiterating the core principle of one authority, one law, and one weapon — meaning consolidation of all armed force under the control of a national committee for Gaza management, according to a statement.
Trump's Board of Peace issued a statement Monday afternoon responding to an earlier declaration by Hamas, making clear that its assessment of the group's positions will be grounded in actions, not promises. The Board reaffirmed the key principle of 'one authority, one law, and one weapon' — referring to the consolidation of all armed force in Gaza under a single national committee for managing the Strip.
This statement comes amid a series of dueling public stances over Gaza's future governance and disarmament. Earlier Monday, Hamas told the Saudi-owned outlet Al-Hadath that any weapons in Gaza must be stored and controlled by a Palestinian Authority — not solely by the faction, as The Zioneer reported. The Board of Peace, established with US backing, has previously declared that UNRWA has no role in Gaza's future and has advanced short-term initiatives in areas of Gaza not under Hamas control without waiting for the group's response on disarmament, according to earlier reports.
The Board's response appears designed to signal that rhetorical compliance by Hamas will not be sufficient, while leaving room for eventual engagement if concrete steps are taken.
