Gaza Board of Peace announces Hamas disarmament agreement: What we know
Donald Trump announced a disarmament agreement with Hamas to facilitate a new Palestinian government in Gaza. However, a stalemate persists over timing. Israeli officials state troops will not withdraw without genuine disarmament, while Hamas demands a full Israeli withdrawal first. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces internal pressure from hardline cabinet members who oppose any deal with Hamas, contrasting with Trump's demand for an immediate agreement. Meanwhile, Morocco has deployed forces as part of a stabilization mission, though local activists view the move as complicity in a post-war occupation.
What changed
Israeli officials and cabinet hardliners have explicitly challenged the timing and validity of the disarmament sequence.

Donald Trump announced a disarmament agreement with Hamas to facilitate a new Palestinian government in Gaza. However, a stalemate persists over timing. Israeli officials state troops will not withdraw without genuine disarmament, while Hamas demands a full Israeli withdrawal first. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces internal pressure from hardline cabinet members who oppose any deal with Hamas, contrasting with Trump's demand for an immediate agreement.

Trump pushes Hamas disarmament deal amid Israeli and Iranian friction
President Donald Trump announced a disarmament agreement with Hamas to enable a new Palestinian government in Gaza. Implementation remains stalled as Israeli officials refuse to withdraw troops without "genuine" disarmament. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces internal pressure from hardline cabinet members who oppose any deal with Hamas. Meanwhile, tensions with Iran have escalated after the Iranian Foreign Ministry denied that negotiations with the US took place on Monday, contradicting Trump's claims. Morocco has joined a stabilization force in Gaza, framing the deployment as a humanitarian mission.
Why it matters
The Gaza Board of Peace was created by the US to facilitate the transition of power. This effort coincides with broader regional instability and a conflict with Iran. The disarmament of Hamas is the primary obstacle to establishing a new governing body in the territory.
What is confirmed
- Donald Trump stated the Hamas disarmament agreement is a critical step toward Gaza being governed by a new Palestinian government.
