The Board of Peace reached an agreement for the complete disarmament\u00a0of Hamas<\/a> and all other armed groups in Gaza, US President Donald Trump announced on Thursday night in a post to Truth Social.<\/p>\n

“Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY,”\u00a0 Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

He added that the agreement marks 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.”<\/p>\n

“At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza<\/a> no longer used as a base for terror attacks.”<\/p>\n

According to Trump, the agreement will be carried out in “carefully structured phases.”<\/p>\n

As Hamas disarms, Trump said in his post, the IDF will withdraw from the Gaza Strip and International Stabilization Force (ISF) will begin to work with “a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors.”<\/p>\n

Trump thanked Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey and his “outstanding team” for their efforts as mediators.<\/p>\n

“The threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will NOT be allowed to rebuild!” Trump wrote. “Under this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE.”<\/p>\n

Hamas, Palestinian factions agree to entire outline for first time<\/p>\n

Senior White House Board of Peace officials told\u00a0The Jerusalem Post\u00a0that “Hamas had a lot of concerns. It took months of delicate negotiations to bring us to this breakthrough and we will move in the coming weeks to advance its implementation.”<\/p>\n

“We spoke with [Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu<\/a>,” the officials went on. “We wanted to cut off the transfer of funds directly to Hamas.”<\/p>\n

The officials added that “there was intensive planning every day to create a successful Gaza, we raised funds, soldiers for the international stabilization force, we trained local Palestinian forces to take the reins from Hamas.”<\/p>\n

“This is an amazing historic step, with the aim that all the tunnels will be eliminated, the weapons will be collected and we will be engaged in building houses and apartments and not terrorism against Israel.”<\/p>\n

“We worked with Israel the whole time, they are skeptical that Hamas will disarm, but not much they can do except see it happen, Israel signed, Hamas signed, there is a commitment here,” senior officials told the Post. “This is a historic breakthrough.<\/p>\n

“We started with the 20-point plan,” they said. “We moved to complex negotiations and we heard from day one about the absolute lack of trust. So we built it on a foundation of zero trust alongside verification and assurance.”<\/p>\n

“For the first time, Hamas and the Palestinian factions agreed to accept the entire outline and the path to implementing it,” a Board of Peace official told the\u00a0Post.<\/p>\n

No gray area was left, White House and Board of Peace officials told the\u00a0Post. “It will take time to implement, the National Committee for Gaza will receive a complete monopoly on the weapons in Gaza.”<\/p>\n

“Heavy weapons and the tunnels, the handling of which will be entrusted to the International Stabilization Force, and the personal weapons in Gaza, will be handled under Palestinian law.”<\/p>\n

Weapons from the current Hamas police force will be transferred to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), officials added, which will “recruit a new police force that will use weapons, and will filter who will be accepted into it and who will not.”<\/p>\n

“The Sharm el-Sheikh Protocol determines what Israel must do, and there is also a commitment from Hamas and the Palestinian factions that they must stop any military or terrorist activity,” officials told the\u00a0Post.\u00a0“After the approval of the roadmap, we expect to begin implementation of the deal with a two-week period for organizing everything.”<\/p>\n

Further, the officials noted that the deal also includes a “peace agreement between all of the factions in Gaza in order to protect the Gazans from internal violence.”<\/p>\n

“The ISF will have the following roles: to dismantle the heavy weapons and tunnels, train the local police and replace Israel when it withdraws,” officials added.<\/p>\n

“One of the important things for Israel is that it will not withdraw as long as there is a Hamas threat, Israel’s withdrawal will occur according to a schedule to be determined later.”<\/p>\n

“We are not asking Israel for anything right now except for its agreement to Trump’s original plan that brought the hostages home, Trump’s 20-point plan,” the officials said.<\/p>\n

Full implementation of deal expected within 200 to 300 days, officials say<\/p>\n

When asked about the timeline for implementation, the officials said that “We will do it right, as quickly as possible. It is complex. “In the coming weeks we will summarize the details and hope to see the process carried out in the next month or two.”<\/p>\n

Full implementation of the deal is expected within 200 to 300 days, according to the officials.<\/p>\n

“Everything depends on completing things step by step; no stage will begin before the previous one is finished,” they said.<\/p>\n

The officials said that Iran would not have wanted Hamas not to enter the agreement, “but Hamas understood that it needed to do what’s good for it. Everything Khamenei has touched in the Middle East has turned into a disaster for the people living there.”<\/p>\n

Officials added that the ISF will continue to operate under the Board of Peace.<\/p>\n

Regarding the Palestinian Authority, officials noted that while there is consultation and coordination with the PA, it “need[s] to carry out reforms before we consider integrating them. But we are trying to bring about something new, we’re talking with them, coordinating, learning.”<\/p>\n

“We consulted with all the countries of the region, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the Emirates, and others,” officials said. “They all helped us, from their perspective, understand the Gaza issue, and the entire implementation of this agreement is a regional effort.”<\/p>\n

The officials said that mediators on Thursday had passed along a message that Hamas had agreed to the roadmap of the deal, including Clause 8, which discusses disarmament.<\/p>\n

Israel demands full Hamas disarmament as withdrawal condition<\/p>\n

Earlier on Thursday, a diplomatic source told the Post that Israel had demanded the complete disarmament of Hamas<\/a>, including the removal of weapons from Gaza and the full demilitarization of the Gaza Strip, as a precondition for any withdrawal process.<\/p>\n

The 15-point document under discussion does not adequately address these demands, and Israel conveyed its reservations on the matter to former UK prime minister Tony Blair, who is serving as an envoy.<\/p>\n

A separate diplomatic source told the\u00a0Post\u00a0that there “will be no exceptions for certain weapons or certain people. One authority, one law, one weapon.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to an Axios\u00a0report from earlier on Thursday, under the agreement, the IDF would withdraw back to the Yellow Line, where it was positioned following last October’s ceasefire. Any further withdrawal would only occur after Hamas’s complete disarmament.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Axios added that Israel would also halt assassinations of Hamas members in the Gaza Strip, unless in the occasion of an imminent threat.<\/p>\n
