On July 30, 2026, President Donald Trump announced a framework for disarming Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, facilitated by the Board of Peace. The announcement follows months of negotiations involving international mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey.
The framework is part of a broader peace initiative that stems from a 20-point plan proposed by Trump in September 2025, aimed at stabilizing Gaza after the conflict that began with Hamas' attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which resulted in significant casualties on both sides.
While Trump described the agreement as a "HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas," U.S. and Board of Peace officials clarified that the terms are not finalized and depend on reciprocal actions from both Hamas and Israel. Hamas has indicated it will not proceed with disarmament until Israel fulfills its obligations under the agreement.
The success of this framework could potentially lead to a new Palestinian government and a reduction in violence in Gaza, but skepticism remains regarding the commitment of both Hamas and Israel to fulfill their obligations.

“Today, the Board of Peace reached a HISTORIC agreement for the COMPLETE DISARMAMENT of Hamas and all other armed groups in Gaza.”
“We will not begin any weapons-related steps until Israel implements these commitments. Frankly, if Israel does not implement them, we will not proceed.”
“Implementation and verification have to be real.”
“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.”
