President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the Board of Peace has reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza, calling it a "monumental step toward lasting peace and security."
The agreement is a critical step toward Gaza being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace, Trump said. Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks.
This is a major milestone in the implementation of the Trump 20-Point Plan. The agreement will be carried out in carefully structured phases. As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces will withdraw, and the International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to ensure Gaza's safety for its residents and neighbors.
Trump noted that one year ago there was a violent war, humanitarian crisis, and hostages held in brutal captivity. "We have made historic progress and there is still much work to do," he said. The president thanked mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye, and especially his team for their efforts.
"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," Trump wrote.
