Trump Says Hamas Agrees To Gaza Disarmament Plan As Ceasefire Efforts Continue

Trump says Hamas agrees to Gaza disarmament plan as ceasefire efforts continue US President Donald Trump has announced that the Board of Peace has reached an agreement for the “complete disarmament” of Hamas and other armed groups in Gaza, in what he described as a major step towards ending the conflict in the territory.

A senior Hamas official told that the group had agreed to the Board of Peace’s plan, although details of the proposed disarmament arrangement, including its implementation process and enforcement mechanisms, remain unclear. The development comes amid ongoing international efforts to secure a lasting resolution to the war in Gaza, with negotiations focusing on issues including security arrangements, humanitarian access, reconstruction and the future governance of the territory. Trump said the agreement would require armed groups in Gaza to surrender their weapons as part of a broader framework aimed at restoring stability and preventing further escalation. He described the move as a significant breakthrough in efforts to bring peace to the region. Hamas has historically maintained an armed wing and has resisted calls to disarm, arguing that its weapons are necessary for resistance against Israel. Any agreement requiring the group to give up its military capabilities is expected to face complex political and security challenges. International observers said the success of the plan would depend on how the agreement is implemented, whether all armed factions comply, and whether broader questions surrounding Gaza’s administration and reconstruction are addressed. The Israeli government and other regional stakeholders are expected to respond to the reported agreement as diplomatic efforts continue to shape the next phase of the conflict.
