Overview
- President Donald Trump announced the Board of Peace reached a 15-point deal on July 31 that aims to disarm Hamas and hand governance of Gaza to a national transition committee.
- Hamas has acknowledged a conditional agreement that links disarmament to Israeli withdrawal and other guarantees rather than an immediate surrender.
- Israel has not formally approved the plan and some Israeli ministers have publicly opposed elements of the proposal, leaving political sign-off unresolved.
- Mediators in Cairo say a signature would open a 14-day window to define mechanics, with negotiators estimating the full disarmament process could take roughly 200 to 350 days once launched.
- Key operational gaps remain unresolved, including who will verify and hold weapons, the exact sequence of withdrawal versus arms handover, and how an international stabilization force and the NCAG will be staffed and funded.
