Gaza Peace Board Announces Agreement on Hamas’ Phased Disarmament

The Gaza Peace Board has announced an agreement on the phased disarmament of Hamas, marking the first major implementation milestone under the 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan. The agreement is aimed at reducing hostilities, restoring stability, and creating conditions for long-term peace and reconstruction in the Gaza Strip.

Background of the 20-Point Gaza Peace Plan

¨     The 20-point Gaza Peace Plan, unveiled by US President Donald Trump in 2025, seeks to end the Israel–Hamas conflict through a phased political, security and reconstruction roadmap.

¨     Phase I focuses on a ceasefire, hostage exchange and limited withdrawal of Israeli forces.

¨     Phase II envisages Hamas’ disarmament, transfer of governance to a technocratic Palestinian administration, deployment of an International Stabilization Force (ISF) and reconstruction of Gaza.

¨     The present agreement marks the beginning of the implementation of Phase II.
