U.S. President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that his Board of Peace has reached an agreement aimed at the complete disarmament of Palestinian Hamas and other armed groups operating within Gaza.
In a post on Truth Social, Mr. Trump described the arrangement as an important milestone in moving forward his 20-Point Plan to end Israel's war in Gaza. He emphasized that the agreement is intended to pave the way for Gaza to be governed by a new Palestinian government working in close coordination with the Board of Peace.
"This agreement is a critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people," Trump wrote. He repeated that the arrangement would put Gaza "in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE," and added that "Israel will have the security it deserves."
According to the president's post, implementation of the deal will follow a phased timeline in which Israeli forces withdraw in step with the progress of disarmament. The plan, as described by Trump, calls for an International Stabilization Force to operate in conjunction with a new Palestinian police force to maintain security across the enclave.
Trump also expressed gratitude to external mediators, specifically thanking Egypt, Qatar and Turkey for their roles in reaching the agreement.
The announcement provides the administration's outline for transition and security arrangements in Gaza as presented by the president. The post attributes the agreement to the Board of Peace and links it directly to the broader 20-Point Plan, but offers limited operational detail beyond the phased withdrawal, the establishment of a Palestinian security force, and the involvement of an international stabilization contingent.
