President Donald Trump announced on July 30 that the Board of Peace has reached a historic agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. Trump described the deal as a monumental step toward lasting peace and security, calling it 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 an International Stabilization Force will work with a new Palestinian police force to ensure safety for Gaza residents and its neighbors. Trump said the deal paves the way for a new Palestinian government to govern Gaza in close cooperation with the Board of Peace, while Israel will gain the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks.
The President thanked mediators Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye for their efforts, and praised his own team for making the breakthrough possible. "One year ago there was a violent raging war, humanitarian crisis and hostages kept in brutal captivity. We have made historic progress and there is still much work to do," Trump stated. He added that the threat that emerged from Gaza on October 7 will not be allowed to rebuild, and that under this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its people.
