Trump Announces Deal To Disarm Hamas And Israel To Withdraw From Gaza

Washington: US President Donald Trump has claimed that a "historic agreement" has been reached on the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed organisations in the Gaza Strip. According to Trump, after this agreement, the way will be opened for the establishment of a new Palestinian administration in Gaza and the withdrawal of Israeli forces will also begin in a phased manner. However, many questions remain regarding this agreement because different signals are being received from Israel and Hamas.

What did Trump claim?

Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social that the international organisation called "Board of Peace" has agreed on the complete disarmament of Hamas and other armed organisations operating in Gaza. He described it as a major step towards lasting peace and security in the region.

According to Trump, the agreement will be implemented in a phased manner. As the arms surrender is complete, Israeli forces will withdraw from Gaza and the International Stabilisation Force will take over security along with local Palestinian police.

How did Israel react?

However, despite Trump's claims, there has been no indication of complete consent from Israel. An Israeli official said that before any process could take place, it was necessary to completely disarm Hamas, remove all weapons from Gaza and end the militarisation of the entire region. In such a situation, there is still uncertainty regarding the finalisation of the agreement.

What was said by Hamas?

No official statement was immediately issued by Hamas on this entire matter. However, some sources close to the talks say that the success of the agreement will depend on what further stance Israel takes and whether both sides are able to reach a comprehensive agreement.

What is 'Board of Peace'?

The 'Board of Peace' is a new international organisation created to oversee the post-war reconstruction, governance and security of Gaza in 2026. This organisation is working to coordinate civil administration, rehabilitation and security arrangements in Gaza.

Violence still continues in Gaza

Meanwhile, the conflict in Gaza has not completely stopped. Israeli strikes killed at least six people on Thursday, including two children, according to local health officials. In such a situation, despite Trump's claims, the path to establishing peace in the region does not seem easy.
