U.S. President Trump Claims Breakthrough Gaza Disarmament Accord Under 20-Point Peace Roadmap

U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the international Board of Peace has reached a historic agreement for the complete, phased disarmament of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, marking a pivotal step in his broader 20-point peace framework. Under the terms brokered alongside mediators from Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey, the demilitarization process will be carried out in structured stages, with weapons handed over to an International Stabilization Force. In tandem with the disarming of military factions, Israeli forces are slated to execute a gradual withdrawal from the enclave as day-to-day civil administration transitions to a Palestinian technocratic body, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza. Security within the territory will eventually be managed by a newly established Palestinian police force operating in coordination with foreign peacekeepers. Designed as a comprehensive plan to rebuild the region and permanently end hostilities, Trump’s 20-point roadmap seeks to ensure Gaza can no longer be utilized as a launching pad for attacks while providing strict security assurances for Israel. Despite the high-profile announcement, U.S. and regional officials caution that full implementation could take up to a year, with significant challenges remaining around verification protocols, timelines, and enduring skepticism on the ground.
