Hamas Agrees To Disarmament After Trump Peace Plan

US President Donald Trump said a new “Board of Peace” framework has agreed terms for the “complete disarmament” of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.

A senior Hamas official told the BBC that the group had accepted the Board of Peace’s plan to carry out disarmament across Gaza, adding that an official statement would follow soon. Israel has not yet commented on the claim.

Trump Links Disarmament to Gaza Withdrawal

Trump said Israeli forces would withdraw from Gaza “as disarmament is completed”. He also described the agreement as a key step towards Gaza being administered by a new Palestinian government.

The US president said the second phase of a US-brokered Gaza ceasefire plan includes disarmament by Hamas. He said the same phase also covers reconstruction in Gaza.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said the agreement would be implemented in “carefully structured phases”. He added that, as disarmament progresses, the International Stabilization Force would work with a new Palestinian police force to help ensure Gaza remains safe for residents and for neighbouring communities.

Trump thanked mediators Egypt, Qatar and Turkey for their role in the process.

Mediation Meeting in Cairo Planned

Agence France-Presse, citing Egyptian state media, reported that Cairo is expected to host a meeting of Gaza mediators to discuss the second phase of the ceasefire plan.

Earlier on the day of Trump’s announcement, Reuters reported that talks between mediators and Hamas leaders in Cairo on implementing the US-brokered plan had made rare progress. It also said an Israeli official told Reuters that the proposed terms were not satisfactory.

After Trump’s comments, The Times of Israel, citing an unnamed source, reported that an agreement had been signed by Hamas negotiators, the Board of Peace and the mediating countries.

However, it said “an Israeli office” issued a statement saying the disarmament proposal did not meet Jerusalem’s demands. Earlier, Israeli media reported that Israel opposed a deal being discussed with Hamas.

Hamas Leadership Change and Past Rejection

In April, a senior Palestinian official told the BBC that Hamas had rejected a disarmament plan put forward by a leading figure in Trump’s Gaza peace efforts.

Earlier this month, Hamas elected a new leader, Khalil al-Hayya, replacing Yahya Sinwar, who was killed by the Israeli military in Gaza in October 2024. As Hamas’s chief negotiator, Hayya led the group’s delegations at indirect ceasefire talks and met mediators in Egypt and Qatar.

The BBC reported earlier this year that the Board of Peace was initially seen as a mechanism to help end the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza and oversee reconstruction. It said the board’s proposed charter does not mention Palestinian territory and appeared to be intended to replace functions carried out by the United Nations.

War Background

Hamas carried out an attack on Israel on 7 October 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages. Israel responded with a major military campaign in Gaza. The Hamas-run health ministry says more than 73,290 people have been killed in the fighting, including 21,280 children.

the great deal maker negotiating with himself for propaganda purposes....who wants to bet that this "deal" is not a deal at all and just like all the rest of the ceasefires etc are not worth the paper written on if anybody even bothered to write it down.....good luck getting hamas to lay down/turn in all their weapons or getting israel to trust hamas or hamas to trust israel much less anyone trusting the orange con man spinning his BS.

Ireland isn't the same as Israel .

Different Countries and different situations .

The Irish solution wouldn't work in Israel .

BTW , would you support all the Northern Irish British being moved from Ireland ?

Hope the US funding doesn't start to go soft !

Actually no , the way we solved the" Irish Question " was by

making them Ministers .

Bizarre but it worked !

What have you done ?

Palestinians were all ready not only Ministers, but they were the whole solely the whole Government in Gaza and the West Bank and Palestinians had Ministers in Israel's Parliament .

So, who would you make a Minister of and Minister of what and where ?

You mean the Israeli war criminals, right?

No, the Arabs of Gaza. They have had repeated opportunities and did not want to follow through. This isn't about Arab independence or even a nation. Those topics are for western consumption. It is about keeping a multi billion Euro crimnal enterprise going. Fortunes have been made diverting aid, tithing aid and skimming aid. Hamas leadership are some of the wealthiest families in Gaza. Their children and relatives live a life of luxury in Qatar, London, Paris and elsewhere.

The whole World can only go with the so called Trump Peace Plan, whatever is said by either side can only be fixed by an independent force running the area of the Gaza strip, until there is some sort of progress on that we will have the same carnage we have now.

I believe in the potential for change. People can change, populations can change. If Palestinians clamp down on Jihadi nonsense and Hamas becomes a political force instead of militant terrorists, there's a chance.

Even if Trump gets through in full good faith, how do we know that the israelis will not play a sneeky trick from behind as to start back the war all over again ? As it is obvious that the issue is not about the trans border war or attacks,,...they (israel) just wants to grab the land of the Palestinians. And then what ? When the palestinians, ex hamas, ex Hezbollah and other terror groups are expelled and israel allows them to flee... and they start to flock the rest of the world and a way of western customs and society that they despise...what will happen to the West ?

Nah, don't think so. They are welded to the Middle East. They would be homeless vagrants in the West. Unless there is a bigger plan for terrorism, e.g., the Saudi (now our allies) attack on 911.

They can go back to where they came from Egypt, Jordan, Iran , why would they need to go to the West ?

Genetic analysis suggests that a majority of the Muslims of Palestine, inclusive of Arab citizens of Israel, are descendants of Christians, Jews and other earlier inhabitants of the southern Levant whose core may reach back to prehistoric times.

Can all the Jewish inhabitants of Israel and the Occupied Territories all trace their genetics back to the Levant, I think not?

Wouldn't work, Hamas ideology is to keep trying to destroy Israel, and maybe, just maybe the'll agree to some sort of putting their weapons aside, the hatred that fills they hearts will still be there for ever,

the only solution that have been thrown around is a complete transfer of all Gazan away from the region, to a place/country that will be willing to take them and by that minimize the chances of direct conflicts.

Can you trace your genetics back to where your ancestors originated from 3000 years ago ?

I think not as well

I'm a gentile and laugh at the idea of trusting Hamas. Can't imagine Bibi is going to get sucked in.

It's not about me, personally, even though my family history has been traced back to the 14th century, where records get a bit vague.
