Overview
- President Donald Trump announced on Thursday, July 30, 2026, that the Board of Peace reached an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza.
- The reported plan calls for militants to surrender weapons in staged steps that will be verified by international monitors before Israeli forces withdraw from cleared areas.
- Under the roadmap, handed weapons would go to new Palestinian institutions operating under the Board of Peace and security would be managed by an International Stabilization Force working with a new Palestinian police force.
- Hamas had not publicly confirmed the agreement as of initial reports and Israeli officials and some Western diplomats said they remain skeptical that the group will fully comply.
- Mediators from Egypt, Qatar and Turkey are holding technical talks in Cairo to finalize implementation details while strikes and contested security incidents in Gaza underscore how fragile any deal would be for civilians and for regional security.
