The agreement followed months of talks in Cairo with mediators from Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye and the United States, and advances the second phase of the ceasefire under the Trump 20-point plan and UN Security Council Resolution 2803\. A senior Hamas official confirmed the group’s agreement to the Board’s plan, while negotiator Ghazi Hamad linked implementation to Israeli steps on withdrawal and reconstruction. Israel has not endorsed the package on matching terms, with the Prime Minister’s Office stating that the related proposal falls short of requirements for complete demilitarisation. Attention now turns to precise implementation schedules and verification mechanisms. **Detailed Report** **1\. Board of Peace Announce Historic Disarmament Breakthrough** On 30 July 2026 the Board of Peace and the mediating countries of Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye and the United States announced that Hamas had agreed to a detailed Roadmap for the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire. The announcement followed intensive negotiations in Cairo. President Trump characterised the development as a major milestone in the implementation of his 20-point plan. The Board framed the agreement as the first formal commitment by Hamas to an actionable plan for the full relinquishing of its weapons, to be followed by Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. **2\. Core Terms of the Phased Disarmament Roadmap** According to the Board of Peace and associated reporting, the Roadmap provides for the complete disarmament of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. Weapons are to be handed over to the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. The process is to proceed in carefully structured phases, with international verification. As disarmament is completed, Israeli forces are to withdraw. An International Stabilization Force is to work with a newly constituted Palestinian police force to maintain security. The National Committee is to begin a phased transition toward full authority under Board of Peace oversight, with concurrent acceleration of rule-of-law measures, security arrangements, humanitarian relief and reconstruction. The Board has stated that the arrangements are intended to ensure Gaza is no longer used as a base for attacks while placing governance in the hands of a new Palestinian administration serving the local population. **3\. Full Statement Issued by the Board of Peace** The Board of Peace released the following statement on its official account: “The Board of Peace and the mediating countries of Egypt, Qatar, Türkiye, and the United States today are pleased to announce that Hamas has agreed to a detailed Roadmap for implementing the next phases of the Gaza ceasefire. The agreement concludes months of intensive, good faith negotiations to advance President Donald J. Trump’s vision for establishing new governance, security, humanitarian relief, reconstruction, and economic recovery in Gaza as set out in the Comprehensive Peace Plan and U.N. Security Council Resolution 2803. The Roadmap represents a historic breakthrough. For the first time, Hamas officially has committed to an actionable plan for relinquishing all its weapons, which will be followed by Israeli withdrawal from Gaza. It holds the promise of delivering significant benefits to the people of Gaza, who have waited for too long for a better future, and security to the people of Israel. Our focus now turns to implementation. The Board of Peace has worked closely with the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). It will soon begin a phased transition toward full authority, backed by the International Stabilization Force (ISF), and will accelerate implementation of the rule of law, security, and humanitarian improvement in Gaza.” **4\. Full Statement by President Trump** President Trump issued the following statement on Truth Social: “Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza. This is a monumental step toward lasting PEACE and SECURITY. This 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. At the same time, 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 take responsibility for Gaza being safe for its residents and its neighbors. 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. I want to thank the mediators—Egypt, Qatar, and Türkiye—for their important efforts, and especially my outstanding team, whose tireless work made this historic breakthrough possible. 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. CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL ON THIS AMAZING DEVELOPMENT, THAT EVERYBODY SAID COULD NEVER BE ACHIEVED!” **5\. Hamas Confirms Agreement** A senior Hamas official told the BBC that the group had agreed to the Board of Peace’s plan for complete disarmament in Gaza and that an official statement would be released in due course. Ghazi Hamad, a member of the Hamas negotiating delegation, told Al Jazeera that the negotiations had been difficult and that the group had sought the best achievable formula. He stated that Hamas would not implement any part of the agreement if Israeli forces failed to fulfil their obligations on withdrawal from Gaza and progress on reconstruction. Reporting indicated that Hamas sources had discussed confining and storing heavy weapons under a Palestinian body rather than transferring them directly to Israel, though full details on light weapons and verification arrangements remained to be clarified. Hamas had earlier dissolved its Gaza governing structures as part of the transition toward the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. **6\. Israel Withholds Endorsement, Citing Incomplete Demilitarisation** Israel has not issued a formal endorsement corresponding to the Board of Peace and presidential framing. According to The Times of Israel, the Prime Minister’s Office stated that the Board of Peace’s 15-point disarmament proposal did not meet Israeli demands for the complete demilitarisation of Gaza. An Israeli official described the proposed terms as unsatisfactory. Israeli sources emphasised that there would be no withdrawal from existing positions, including the Yellow Line, before Hamas is fully disarmed and the Strip demilitarised. As of the initial announcements on 31 July, no high-level Israeli acceptance of the specific phased package had been confirmed. **7\. Place of the Agreement Within the Broader Trump Framework** The Roadmap sits within the second phase of the ceasefire arrangements established under President Trump’s 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict, which was endorsed by United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803 of 17 November 2025\. That resolution welcomed the Board of Peace as the body tasked with strategic oversight of transitional governance, reconstruction and the International Stabilization Force. The National Committee for the Administration of Gaza was established earlier in 2026 as the Palestinian technocratic vehicle for local administration under Board guidance. Prior months had been marked by repeated deadlock over the sequencing of Hamas disarmament relative to Israeli withdrawal and reconstruction, with each side citing incomplete fulfilment of earlier commitments by the other. The present agreement is presented by the Board as the first formal commitment by Hamas to an actionable decommissioning plan. **Conclusion** The announcement of 30 July 2026 constitutes a significant political development in efforts to advance the second phase of the Gaza ceasefire framework. It records, for the first time, an explicit Hamas commitment to a detailed roadmap for the relinquishing of weapons, linked to sequenced Israeli withdrawal and a transition in governance and reconstruction under the Board of Peace. The distance between this political understanding and verified implementation remains substantial. Preparation of precise timelines, international verification mechanisms, and reciprocal performance by all parties will determine whether the Roadmap moves from statement to operational reality.
