President Trump announced Thursday evening that the Board of Peace reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and other groups in Gaza, an effort that he called a “monumental step” toward peace and security.
“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 on Truth Social. “At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks.”
Trump described the development as a “major milestone” in implementing his 20-point plan. “As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors,” he explained.
“I want to thank the mediators—Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye—for their important efforts, and especially my outstanding team, whose tireless work made this historic breakthrough possible,” he added. “The threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will NOT be allowed to rebuild!”
“Under this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE.”
According to a statement put out by the Board of Peace “Hamas has agreed to a detailed Roadmap for implementing the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire.” The agreement “concludes months of intensive, good faith negotiations to advance President Donald J. Trump’s vision for establishing new governance, security, humanitarian relief, reconstruction, and economic recovery in Gaza as set out in the Comprehensive Peace Plan and U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803,” the statement read.
Numerous world leaders signed onto the Board of Peace in January.
