The Board of Peace, the U.S.-backed body President Trump established last year to manage Gaza reconstruction and peace, released a detailed 15-point roadmap Friday to disarm Hamas and demilitarize the territory, following Trump’s announcement of the deal late Thursday.
Trump unveiled the plan Thursday night, saying disarmament would proceed in “carefully structured phases.” U.S. and Board of Peace officials briefed reporters on the terms Thursday evening, noting that Israel remained “skeptical” of the plan and had not yet committed to it.
The Board posted the full 15-point framework on X Friday morning.
Under the plan, both Israel and Hamas must first reaffirm their commitment to Trump’s comprehensive peace deal, which is backed by U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803. The first phase requires Israel to complete all remaining commitments under the Sharm Sheikh Protocol, including a full cessation of military operations. Hamas and Palestinian factions must simultaneously stop all military activity.
Hamas would hand over civilian governance and security functions in Gaza to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, known as the NCAG, a transitional body supervised by the Board of Peace. An International Verification Committee, also created by the Board, would certify that each phase is completed before the next begins.
The second phase, titled “security,” requires Hamas and all other armed factions to disarm completely, surrendering all weapons and control of the tunnel network to the NCAG. Israel would begin a phased withdrawal from Gaza during this phase, completing it in phase three.
The timetable for disarmament and withdrawal would be set within 14 days after both parties formally approve the roadmap.
The plan calls for Gaza to operate under a principle of “one authority, one law, one weapon,” with the NCAG consolidating governance and security control over a three-year implementation period.
Senior Hamas official Basem Naim announced on X that Hamas “agreed to the roadmap” and called on mediators “to compel” the Israeli government to do the same. Naim said “the ball is now in the enemy’s court.”
Israel has not publicly endorsed the plan. U.S. officials acknowledged Thursday night that Israeli leaders remain skeptical.
The disarmament framework builds on Trump’s 20-point peace plan signed last year, which ended active hostilities between Israel and Hamas. Progress has been halted repeatedly by accusations from both sides of ceasefire violations. The United Nations reported that more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since the ceasefire announced in October 2025.
