The official said disarmament depended on Israel\u2019s withdrawal from Gaza and progress on reconstruction in the Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n<p>There has been no comment yet from Israel.<\/p>\n<p>Trump framed the agreement as a success for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/5\/21\/board-of-peace-envoy-warns-permanent-gaza-divide-under-current-status-quo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Board of Peace<\/a>, the body established to oversee Gaza\u2019s governance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis agreement is a critical step towards Gaza finally being governed by a new Palestinian government that will work closely with the Board of Peace to help the Palestinian people,\u201d Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform on Thursday. \u201cAt the same time, Israel will have the security it deserves, with Gaza no longer used as a base for terror attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The copy of the agreement obtained by Al Jazeera says that the disarmament process will begin with the entry of a National Committee and the International Stabilisation Force to Gaza. The National Committee will then oversee the \u201cinventory and storage\u201d process, with the international verification committee observing, and the Palestinian factions participating.<\/p>\n<p>The disarmament process is also tied to the gradual withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza. It also adds that no weapons should be handed over to Israel or any non-Palestinian body, and that the National Committee be the sole force holding on to the weapons in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>A Board of Peace official confirmed to Al Jazeera that Hamas and other armed factions would hand over their weapons to a National Committee set to administer Gaza. The official said weapons held by the police would be transferred first, followed by the decommissioning of heavy weapons. All military activity in Gaza would have to stop under the plan, though the official said the process will take time to implement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Nickolay Mladenov, the Board of Peace\u2019s high representative for Gaza, said it \u201ctook months of very difficult negotiations\u201d for the agreement to be reached.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere were several points when I did not believe we would make it,\u201d he wrote on X on Friday, adding that what happens next \u201cmatters even more\u201d than the initial deal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cImplementation and verification have to be real,\u201d Mladenov said. \u201cWithdrawal must move in lockstep with decommissioning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump framed the disarmament \u2013 which he said would take place in phases \u2013 as part of the \u201cceasefire\u201d deal he brokered in October to end Israel\u2019s genocidal war on Gaza, which has killed more than 73,000 Palestinians and devastated the Palestinian enclave.<\/p>\n<p>Israel has repeatedly violated the ceasefire, killing more than 1,200 Palestinians since it came into effect, seizing more territory, and continuing to restrict the movement of people and goods into and out of Gaza. Six more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/7\/30\/israeli-strikes-kill-at-least-four-including-children-across-gaza-strip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Palestinians were killed<\/a> in Israeli attacks on Gaza on Thursday, including two children.<\/p>\n<p>Trump said Israel would withdraw from Gaza and be replaced by an International Stabilization Force working with a \u201cnew Palestinian police force\u201d once disarmament was complete.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder this agreement, Gaza will finally be in the hands of a new Palestinian government that serves its PEOPLE,\u201d Trump added.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas leaders have been in the Egyptian capital, Cairo, since late last week discussing the ceasefire deal with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkiye. An unnamed Hamas official was quoted earlier on Thursday as saying that the talks were \u201cpositive\u201d and \u201cmaking progress\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Egypt will soon host more talks in Cairo involving mediators from Egypt, the US, Qatar and Turkiye to secure commitments to the second phase of the ceasefire roadmap, according to Egypt\u2019s A-Qahera News. The broadcaster, citing an informed Egyptian source, said Hamas and other Palestinian factions had officially approved the proposal, which includes the deployment of international forces and the start of work by the National Committee.<\/p>\n<p>However, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, another armed group in Gaza, said reports of an agreement between the factions and Israel were inaccurate, adding that it had reservations about the wording being circulated.<\/p>\n<p>Hamas had announced on July 6 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/7\/6\/hamas-announces-dissolution-of-gaza-governing-body\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the dissolution<\/a> of the body it led that had governed Gaza for nearly two decades.<\/p>\n<p>Al Jazeera\u2019s Alan Fisher, reporting from Washington, DC, said that the arrangement would see Hamas and other groups disarm sector by sector, followed by the recruitment of more Palestinian police officers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[The Palestinian police will] be working in association with an international coordination force, the makeup of which has yet to be cleared, but we\u2019ve heard rumours that it could involve the Indonesians and possibly even the Turks, something the Israelis might not be keen on,\u201d Fisher said.<\/p>\n<p>Fisher said there were some obstacles to getting all sides to sign the agreement, but it was made clear things would get a lot more difficult for Hamas financially if it did not approve the deal.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was definitely international pressure on Hamas to accept this,\u201d Fisher said.<\/p>\n<p>Nidal Abu Zaid, a military analyst, told Al Jazeera that the focus of the agreement on the phrase \u201cinventory and storage\u201d was subtly different to \u201cdisarmament\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom a military standpoint\u2026 Inventory and storage is carried out by a third party, but that party does not need to be an enemy force,\u201d Abu Zaid said. \u201cBut disarmament is carried out by an enemy force, and [the Palestinian factions] will never agree to that disarmament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, a US official told reporters that there was much Israeli criticism when Turkiye and Qatar were invited to join the Board of Peace, but that the agreement had proven that including the countries was the right decision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think, right now, there is finally an alternative to the PA [Palestinian Authority] and Hamas\u201d, which is a \u201ctechnocratic, apolitical government that is really looking to do this for the benefit of the people\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2026\/7\/30\/trump-says-board-of-peace-reaches-agreement-on-disarmament-of-hamas-in-gaza\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hamas and other Palestinian factions have agreed to a document setting out a plan for their disarmament in Gaza, in what United States President Donald Trump has called \u201ca monumental step\u201d towards peace and security.
