On Thursday, July 30, 2026, President Donald Trump announced via social media an agreement for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This announcement is part of a peace plan unveiled last year aimed at ending the conflict in the region.

Trump described the agreement as a critical step toward Gaza being governed by a new Palestinian government that will collaborate closely with the multinational Board of Peace, an organization created under the 20-point peace plan to assist the Palestinian people. He emphasized that the agreement marks a major milestone and will be implemented in 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 said. He also stated, "At the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks."

The Board of Peace issued a statement confirming that Hamas has agreed to a detailed Roadmap for implementing the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire, calling it the result of months of negotiations and a historic breakthrough.

Few details about the disarmament agreement were initially released, and there was no immediate response from Israeli officials or Hamas regarding the announcement.

The conflict has had a devastating toll, with the Hamas-run Gaza Ministry of Health reporting that more than 70,000 Palestinians have been killed in the ensuing war.
